A Moral Reality
#8
RE: A Moral Reality
B and C aren't mutually exclusive.

I don't need to do deliberate calculations in my head to reach the position that torturing babies is wrong. but if you were asked to provide an elaborate explanation for what makes torturing babies, then you can't just say "it's because".

Of course, it's one thing to ask what makes X wrong and another thing to ask what makes one believe X is wrong.
