Principles are principles apart from everything else. I don't understand why I need to prove that ideas exist. But oh well.

<<...you taking it as an article of faith, but so far you aren't doing very well proving that it actually exists.>>
Ok, on the innate "knowing about morality" you may be right. I assume that all people can check for self evidence and find it. I am not convinced that you can't but you've put the burdon of proof on me. Some people have been so stubborn as to say I have to show physical evidence in a scientific way. Another arguement, which has more merit, is that humans are born with a social instinct to belong and so the moral principles are easily decerned by all human beings after birth through rational thinking, and or supported by society. I feel I've given over whelming evidence over the last few days, for the existence of universal identification of what is good and bad by human beings, which can only come from an internal locus. You insist that I have shown none. OKee Dokee
