gollark: Regarding objective morality: I don't understand how it's meant to work. Generally we consider things "true" if they're well-established by experiment and observation. I do not see how you can empirically test whether something is what you "should" do.
gollark: A kilobee is 1000 bees.
gollark: Not really. I meant that the arguments roger was making skip a lot of steps through equivocation things.
gollark: It is about 3 kilobees that people argue for "god", the complex agenty human-like being from their religion, by arguing for "god", the could-be-basically-anything-ever necessary first cause and such.
gollark: Anyway. semihyperseriously, it might help if you elaborate whatsoever.
