    If morality is a logically coherent system, then one person’s morals will easily disagree with anothers, if each has different base premises.

  2. Zach Says:

    Yes. It doesn’t necessarily have to be logically coherent, though.

    Oh, definitely! I find it more fun to point out that even an internally consistent system has that minor hangup… plus I’ve been reading Paul Erdos’ biography again :)

    “Absolutely relative”– love that!

    Overall, I agree. My only quarrel is the first point as is, describes the “personal” monotheistic, God-as-entity view, but not God as Isness.

  5. Zach Says:

    Sort of. That section does need some more elaboration. I plan on writing about that point more next to fill in some of the obvious holes it leaves.
