I think that there is an objective set of guidelines as to what is good and what is bad. We, of course, do not know what they are, so we must make our own and try to live by them.
I am not quite sure what you are getting at. You claim that there is an objective set of guidelines
for what is good and what is bad, but then you claim we have no idea what they are. To repeat
Kirsty08, "If we do not know what they are then how can we say there are any?
Also, I am not sure why we need to come up with our own subjective guidelines to live by...you may
need to unpack what you are trying to communicate. Adolf Hitler and Mother Teresa lived by
different guidelines and I believe that Mother Teresa was morally praiseworthy while Adolf Hitler
was morally blameworthy.
Yes we do, it is called conscience. Something lacking in those youths who go around murdering there
turf rivals. Or beating up old people for the price of a six pack.
