I want to present two points here:
- The reason why no one can conclude that a religious Divine Being is the ultimate on morality is that the very existence of a religious Divine Being cannot be determined because it is an idea that is not falsifiable. So, if the very existence of something cannot be tested how on earth can you measure and/or define whether or not that Divine Being is an authority on anything?
- There is no such thing as moral absolutism any way, albeit I do believe in a kind of moral universalism; two different things by the way. As for an absolute morality that would mean that something is either always moral even at the expense of reason, rationality and logic. As Richard Dawkins said, if religious morality is the only absolutist morality then I do do not think I want one; instead I would opt for one like he said that is thought out, reasoned, argued and discussed.

Excellent topic......... The reason why no one can conclude that a religious Divine Being is the ultimate on morality is that the very existence of a religious Divine Being cannot be determined because it is an idea that is not falsifiable. So, if the very existence of something cannot be tested how on earth can you measure and/or define whether or not that Divine Being is an authority on anything?
I agree with what you say RationalWiki an excellent source lists the reasons why absolute morality is irrational ......

When stating or denying morality you deny that people are consciously unaffected by the idea of morality.
I could logically break it down but my statement is logically adequete.

How do you deny morality to exist, when you have to understand what it is your denying.
People are not consciously effected by what doesn't exist because they are consciously unaware of what doesn't exist dumbass.
What doesn't exist , does not effect

I've noticed here that you've resorted to name-calling. Your attitude here reflects that you're not interested in having civil and rational discourse.
This is where I say goodbye to you as we having nothing else to discuss.
