Objective morality as a proper basic belief

More than that...I will, when it's compelling...do something I consider to be objectively evil. I have. I will again - and were not talking about picking the wrong color drapes here. I'm a legitimate danger to my fellow man regardless of the fact that I accept an objective moral schema based on harm.

I.....will....harm....people....... This secular conception of evil is analagous to the religious concept of sin, and it's equally available to the religious absolutist despite being identifiably godless.

Don't beat yaself up, brotha ... we're all fallen. Wink
