I think the spiritual and the "moral" may be human constructs- not SURE about that, but if they are, and if they don't exist outside the human brain, then do they as ideas have an absolute reality? I don't think so- they don't seem to me to be composed of "matter" or have an existence independent of the matter in our brains. Things could very well be otherwise- but I don't believe in an objective world of ideas, or beliefs- I suspect there is no one truth, no objectively "ideal" idea- that what we have are pathways in our brains that let thoughts travel in a certain way, which seems common enough to all of us- these pathways have an objective existence but I do not equate the pathway with the thought.

I'll bite. If there is a spiritual absolute, we wont know about that until it is impossible to discuss our findings.

I think moral absolutes do not exist.
