No, that makes sense, I assumed since you said 'do what you feel is right', in the thread that started this thread, that you acknowledged some type of knowing that can 'feel right'. I was asking what this knowing that can 'feel right' is. Isn't it like 8 am in England? Goodnight [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

its not 'right' in the sense of correct/incorrect. I think we've cleared that up.

its about 'right' in the sense of good/bad.

Some of the thing I experience are beliefs about the rightness of actions and situations. (I assume most of us are similar).

Even if I was wrong to believe that some action is good, I could do no better than to follow the course I believe is good.

Chezlaw's wager follows and works like Smith's:

No just god could ask more then we do our best and there's no point worrying about an unjust god.

If there's no god then it didn't cost us much to do what we believed was good. (There are strong argument for behaving this way even if god doesn't exist).
