A Meditation on Objective Morality

If all humans disappeared, of course murder would be wrong. That's the sum of a story, is taking actions, and showing their consequences. Aesop and Grimm's are impossible, but the consequences are always true. That's generally why we read and write stories. Consider, a sausage cannot cook dinner, but if he goes out into the wild and dies, nobody can cook dinner for the household, and the other characters burn down the house. It's true, even for those pretend creations. The truth is we all have our work to do, either great or small, and not doing it leads to catastrophic failure. That's true, even if humans don't exist, because the consequences are still real.

I mean you can reduce it down to "Well the creations mimeses human behavior", yes, but that mimesis tells us something real, if it's done right. Morality is objective, it's just situational. It's based in consequences and healthy affect, and I think Christ shines so bright because His ethic proves objectively true if you are serious about studying it. You apply it holistically, it makes more sense than anything any of the other religions say.

I don't like this Christianity that just goes in circles and says, "Because God says so." Why does God say so? He has a reason.
