> So you're telling me I ought to stop doing that?
Cute counter but fallacious IMO. There are systems of oughts that don't look and sound like religions. For example, I don't write sermons for mine. Anyway, you're not engaging my central point, just nitpicking on an illustratory phrase.
What does a "system of oughts" look like? And why would it matter what they sound like? Does the content of the system change if statements about it are read aloud by voices of different pitch?
