In another thread, now closed, I said this: "the fact that we have no logical ground for any moral rule is what tells us our rules are subjective."
Now pick one moral rule from our society and show me why it has no logical grounding.
Rules evolve whether considered moral or otherwise. Morals are nothing more than proper behavior of a person within a society.
Now maybe you consider morals to be concern for human welfare.
I feel our society today uses the term both ways.

Somebody might say, we should treat others as we want to be treated.
Why should we do that?
I never thought of that as a moral law in our society. What makes that a moral law?
quote:
So we have yet another rule: We should do that which in the long run is good for everyone.
Why?
Again, not something I ever thought of as a moral law. Odds are the thought would be more along the lines of doing what is good for the majority.
I guess I think of moral laws as don't murder, don't steal, don't tell falsehoods, etc.
Where are you pulling your moral laws from?
