#10.
Some have suggested that we can educate ourselves on what is moral and immoral. However, although we can educate ourselves on realities around us, things that can be measured, how do we educate ourselves on what we “ought to do?” Someone can learn that 2+2=4; but, how does someone become educated on what they “ought” to do, as if there is a transcendent standard by which they can understand that?

We transcend standards by our abilty to reason and think logically
For thousands of years we have supressed women - this was never moral from where I am sitting in the here and now, yet good people (xtains!) supported this through the ages. For various reasons.
It is clear that morals change. How can it then be absolute?? We abhore killing people yet support wars under certain conditions. You have in now way or form proven any of your assertions.
