If you are arguing for yourself then it is ok or even only for all of us who think we have morals. If you are arguing a universal logic then I see complications.

Here is where I can see running into problems. What is morally right or wrong is not an agreed upon thing. I have my own moral compass and it comes from my religion, philosophies I have read, parents, teachers, etc.

Now, if I suddenly chose to be atheist, I can if, I wanted to, throw all right and wrong out the window. Before I go any further let me state this unequivocally, before I get bombarded by other posters - I AM NOT SAYING ALL OR EVEN ANY ATHEIST HAS NO MORALS. I am saying if I chose to become atheist, I can throw all my morals out the window and I think I can defend my new amoral position rationally.

Dead right, the theory is personal

'No rational person who is morally repulsed by an MPE religon can accept that religon.'

If someone isn't morally repulsed then it doesn't apply.

I don't know how big an issue it is as anecdotally it seems that many people have the same sort of moral feelings. The post where you talked about heaven and hell illustrates the point. You offered a more just description of heaven/hell and the moral indignation of others dissipated. (I still want to see the small print)
