You didn't know that some people have different moral codes than you?

How substantively different are they? Am I obligated by them?

Have you been raised in a basement?

No.

Do you ever read books?

Yes.

Someone using their reason is being moral; someone who denies it is being immoral.

Hmmmm. I'm going to let that one percolate for a while.

Cordially,

"How substantively different are they? "

Quite.

"Am I obligated by them?"

Only if they are right. Do they recognize reason as the foundation of morality or is it feelings and supernatural commands?
