I'd rather ask it this way: can we rationally explain our morals without stating it as a *belief* that something is right or wrong? I can't. It appears to me that our brains are inherently irrational, but capable of rationality as a (self) imposed discipline. I can separate morality from religion, can rationally explain why I'm an atheist, but can't rationalise the morals. -- Kiran Jonnalagadda http://jace.seacrow.com/
