How does one believe in an extrinsic view of morality without invoking "God"? What is this magical external reference point we are using? I don't use the word "God" because it seems too human bound - like God would really care that much about people and not the rest of the planet or universe, holding these systems in equal regard. What hubris. Our "Gods" seem more like us than Gods. I've heard 7th grade bullies with more compassion than I've heard in some of the mainstream dogma that is tossed around as "moral philosophy". An agnostic view is the only one that makes sense. We just don't (and can't) know the truth so why would anyone claim to? Doesn't make sense to me. But if we are to embrace something, why not make it good?
