Chez,

I am not quite sure now what you mean by your moral sense. Seems to assume things that I hadn’t thought about before. I am assuming that under these scenarios you have no knowledge of this religion or other religions. Can I assume you must delete any knowledge of philosophy, too? Where did you get any moral sense at all here is my question? I need to catch up to where you are here - if you think it is me being a dense, then I’ll reread.

By moral sense, I mean the feeling that some things are right and some things are wrong.

Although my intellectual understanding of how things work, and of the specific situation being considered does have a considerable influence on my moral feeling, I do still experience a feeling of rightness or wrongness that is similar to pain or pleasure.

One common dispute between theists and atheiests is whether these feelings are evolved for evolutionary advantage or whether they are god given.

Does that make sense?
