"You no more create morality, as an individual, than you do a language"

C'mon. People don't "create" language. It evolves culturally and is adopted, integrated, altered and modified by groups and individuals. Language is multifaceted and varied between and within groups. Although particular groups (such as Quakers) may share a commonality of expression...individuals within any group are wholly autonomous in how they use that language--if indeed they choose to speak that language at all. Nobody denies that people are influenced by reality. It is just that people are more than mindless social insects (referring you back to the man who tried to blow up Herr Hitler)--or, at least...they may be.
