Well, I went to my Webster, and I agree that the external authority element is not in the words themselves. In any case, my focus in the previous post wasn't on the question of whether atheists can be moral. Or on the meaning of moral and/or ethical, fwiw. Instead, I was focusing on Chris' invocation of an external authority - something I believe he expressly did. If that exits the boundaries of the semantic discussion, I would like to open a new subtopic under the "external authority" banner.
