Very good point. There are moral truths but there are no moral facts.

I always enjoy your posts, Sherman Logan.

Well, thanks.

I know what I want to say on this issue but don’t know how to word it.

It just seems to me that the confusion arises from insisting that only facts and opinions exist. This turns everything that cannot be demonstrated to be a fact into “just an opinion.”

Ran across a complicated discussion of this issue. But then it’s a very complicated problem.

Using the terms the author of this piece uses, I guess I’m a non-naturalist when it comes to moral/ethical issues.
