Your whole post is entirely factually incorrect. I am not lying to you about this.

If you're interested in the topic, I'd recommend Matt Ridley's The Origins of Virtue or Robert Wright's The Moral Animal.

Okay, well I think I led this down a path that doesn't have anything to do with what we are talking about. Hopefully I can sum up what I'm trying to say...

I won't argue that the belief in moral absolutes does not have practical benefit. Also, I will not argue whether belief in moral absolutes could have been evolved (at least not in this thread anymore because it has nothing to do with this). There are definite reasons why people could say this could and should have happened. That's fine.

The only thing I'm asking is for you to prove to me is that things have purely intrinsic moral value. If you don't think they do then that's fine.
