What makes something right or wrong?

[Hoi Polloi]

[ QUOTE ]
My point was that, prior to debating whether something is right or wrong, we need to establish the basis of our morality. Otherwise, we just have pointless conversations.

I agree. This is precisely the cause of pissing matches and talking at cross purposes. At the same time rational people need to recognise that values are not guaranteed, that is, not "true" as such.

As Nietzsche said: who says you can't argue about taste? Taste is all you can argue about.

He meant that taste (read values) does not admit of truth.

"Unfortunately we can't all agree on the God thing."

We can if we can rationally cancel out all other possibilities.

Is it possible for goodness to be factored into EV? (no one ever said that EV always has to refer to money)

I did not read your post
but what makes something right or wrong is completely judged by God
