I refer to Paul in describing Christian belief, and to Christian belief as Christians are a major component of theists walking around this Earth. Is that so hard to follow? You are only too well aware as to how well I follow it. I am describing the point of view that would permit morality to be inferred from nature. Again, what is so hard to understand? Neocon? There is no need to be cranky. I believe you said earlier that GOD created morality and wove it through the fabric of everything. I'm not quoting your exact words, but you get the jist of it, right? I think the hypothesis is quaint, and also worth some consideration. So what is " the point of view that would permit morality to be inferred from nature"? Where is the evidence that some Creator stitched (relax, I'm trying unsucessfully for a metaphor) sutures into the natural impulses of humans to act against self and group interests. Presumably, without this divine tapestry--our reasoned morality would be only a feeble copy of infinite wisdom...(edit)or infinite goodness--or whatever...
