No.... I'm not.   But if you are not going to discuss what you mean, then you are the one who is done.  Some mythicist may take your silence to mean, that you do not know.

Quote:You'd have to be arguing for an objective morality, you aren't. Our innate sense, that provides us with reliable moral guesses, is called "empathy".  It helps us, for example, understand harm.  It doesn't..however, provide or inform us as to an objective moral schema.

So, you don't think that morality is a properly basic belief?

Your reading comprehension, or lack thereof, is, like the name says, astonishing.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
