Are you saying that moral judgments, opinions, and strictures of conduct do not originate in the mind of people? Do you believe that moral opinions and assessments can exist without moral judgment? Does one judge the morality of an act, or does one discover it?

Obviously, each individual action requires trillions of questions and actions to determine an objective human assessment of rightness or wrongness. How many questions does an Absolutist need to make? Do you personally know who needs to be killed and who should live...or does that come at another level? I see that Saddam's kids were murdered. I never liked them anyways, but how does that relate to the Entity determing the respective values in close circumstance?
