I am pro-life and reject moral authority from God because God does not exist.
You are now making a positive claim that God does not exist. Can you provide evidence backing your assertion since you are the one making the allegation in this instance?

Says who? And if morality is based on cultural norms, then shouldn't it be considered immoral in our culture to be pro-life, since it seems that the cultural consensus is that abortion is the acceptable (i.e., moral) thing at this time?

Are you acting immorally to go against what is culturally accepted as "moral" if morality truly is subjective and basd on cultural norms?

Says who? What is culturally acceptable and what comports to "the golden rule" aren't always the same thing. When those things are in conflict, what is the greater authority, and why?

I’m making a negative claim.

Overwhelming majority of historians, scientists, ethicists, philosophers, psychologists, and such.

It might seem like it to you, based on your distorted reality, but it is closer to 50:50. There is no consensus. Do you, like, watch or read news at all?

quote:

what is the greater authority

The closest thing to an authority is the government, who does attempt to legislate morality based on the cultural norms of society.

Ok… now how about those dinosaurs on the ark? How many of them were on it? How many stegosauruses, Brachiosauruses, Triceratops, and T-Rexes were on board? What did they eat after salt water from the great deep killed all plant life and turned the earth into a salt-covered lifeless mud ball?
