More nuclear warheads as well. Not saying that’s a good thing, but it seems to be the only real deterrent.

Maybe half of it is the Korean translation?

I think we can still do that without having to buy into the idea of a divine and immutable source of morals or tying our moral thinking to a specific textual work or collection of works. I’d argue we can do it even better without those things because whilst they did have a place in our history and were probably helpful at one time they have ended up holding us back particularly in recent times.

I agree with you on this one for sure. That’s one of the reasons I think that a text is not a particularly good foundation for an absolute system of morals. I don’t know why we need to mess around with interpretations in that case.

Interpretation can be possible, but often the driver doesn’t seem to be a genuine seeking of a moral truth but working backwards to avoid morally unpalatable conclusions or outright cherry picking and ignoring certain parts of a text. I see that as a tacit admission that morals don’t actually come from the text itself but maybe there’s something I’m missing as I’m far from an expert.

We can have a discussion about the moral frameworks where that would be wrong but an absolute moral giver allows for no such discussion.

Or people commit genocide because of a command from an entity we just assume is the source of all morality and therefore their actions and commands cannot be immoral by definition.

No they are usually much smarter about getting the policy changes they want.
