Those inversions can be demonstrated to be incoherent. If good and evil are immature, that implies that there is no reason to act one way over another. If that is true and someone really believes, the question is why arenโ€™t they behaving randomly.

Believing incoherent notions of good and evil is bad as is the case with evangelicals.

@pixeltracker this quote (and its conclusions) reminds me of the moral realism proclaimed by german philosopher Prof Markus Gabriel and others. (I name him because I like his popular Books)

"one must assume not only that there is a way of determining [...], what a better world might look like, but also that there is a way for this โ€˜concrete utopianโ€™ vision to become shared [...]"

Issues With "More Moral" Part 3. In this short we address (briefly) atheists not being able to ground an objective standard. Moral Language is confusing at times, with so many different takes and various levels of understanding, people talk past each other all the time. In this series of shorts I'll be addressing some tweets that started with a tweet from the thinking atheist about being more moral than the society you grew up in. #morality #moralityshorts #ethics #ethicsandmorality #morals #metaethics #moralcognativism #moralnoncognstivism #ethicaltheory #shorts #shortshorts #moralrealism #moralsubjectivism #normativeethics

Issues With "More Moral" Part 2. In part 2 I clarify what I mean by a subjectivist or noncognitivist etc saying "more moral" isn't really a statement with any power. Moral Language is confusing at times, with so many different takes and various levels of understanding, people talk past each other all the time. In this series of shorts I'll be addressing some tweets that started with a tweet from the thinking atheist about being more moral than the society you grew up in. #morality #moralityshorts #ethics #ethicsandmorality #morals #metaethics #moralcognativism #moralnoncognstivism #ethicaltheory #shorts #shortshorts #moralrealism #moralsubjectivism #normativeethics
