Objective morality as a proper basic belief

You're suffering from the illusion that you have a cogent thought.  Regardless of whether or not someone thinks it's objectively or subjectively wrong to do x....they think it's wrong to do x.  That's self stated and inarguable.  Do you understand?  

Quote:Honestly it is not hard. Basic logic.
Basic, alright.

Quote:Is it a fact that Jessica Alba is betting looking than Lucy Liu?

If this question was asked in an exam, what would be the correct answer?
Are we discussing moral facts or your sexual preferences?  I just want to be clear on the subject matter.

Quote:No. Because you are harming a child. It is a FACT that it is wrong in harming a child or anyone for fun.

This just seems obvious to me and to anyone else.
There you go, nothing about sex outside of marriage at all.  Yes, it does seem obvious.  If you asked any of these folks they;d tell you exactly the same thing.  That they think it;s wrong because it harms a child.  Are you going to tell them that they're wrong about that, now, because that's like..just their opinion, man?  

Quote:You then have to ask....

Is it a FACT that it is wrong or is it just undesirable that it is wrong?

If its not a fact yet i claim it is still wrong, then i will admit i am sufferring from a delusion.

If it is a fact, then i have to explore the grounding of this fact.

Just because you dont like something or like doesnt make that thing you like or dislike a fact.
Do you think that anyone here is telling you that child rape is wrong because they dislike it, or that it would be right if they liked it? Who are you bickering with in any of this, other than yourself?
