Hi.
So you all know about crude emotivism, emotivism, non-cognitivism, etc.
What do you think about treating the claim "God exists" in sort of the same way?
In essence, any claim about the nature of any deity is handled the same as a moral claim in noncognitivism given that we already know this would eliminate any capacity for moral reasoning?
This seems almost too good to be true from this reader's perspective. It's like having your cake, but not having your cake, and eating it too.
