Stop pussyfooting around. Do you believe in objective moral values and duties or not?
Quote:If you believe that good and bad are decided by god-relative tastes
I believe in objective moral values and duties and I believe they're ontologically based in God not as tastes but as necessary principles similar to mathematics.
Quote:Further, if the propositions of that subjectivist morality must be beamed into your skull for you to even be aware of them, in what way are you a competent moral agent, or a moral agent at all?
I believe God has provided us with an epistemological framework in the form of moral faculties and self-reflection that give us the ability to apprehend these objective moral values and duties.
