Morality II

Sorry for being so late in responding. We were on a family camping trip for six days. It was great!

After your latest email we have good news: You and I finally agree on something (as pertains to this blog)! You said, “…I'm pretty confident that I can't prove the logic of morality.” I said, “…there is ultimately no logical foundation for morality in non-theism.” Hey, I think we can celebrate this consensus together! On the count of three… Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Given our consensus I will turn more to you beliefs. I guess the best direction is to ask a series of questions in response to your current system of belief about morality.

Q1: Is there such a thing as right and wrong or are all actions just natural (like hair)?

Q2: If all actions are merely natural then how can any judgment be rendered since all of them are simply natural?

Q3: Is there then any absolute invariant standard for right and wrong?

Q4: What is the difference between what is moral, immoral and amoral if all actions and attributes of our species are ultimately natural?

I know, these questions tend to blend together and touch upon each other, but hopefully they are distinct enough to be answerable on their own.

I look forward to hearing from you my friend.
