Thanks Jack. Is it ever frustrating, (or is it more often fun) to be on a forum with such a large percentage of realists?

I like the theological analogy. I need to think about it some more because I think there are some important differences.

I think the percentage of moral "realists" is lower here than in the general population.

Well, I stopped taking ethics classes and focused on metaphysics and philosophy of science. But that was more just a matter of interests. I got more frustrated with professors tolerating the epistemic relativism popular among students.

I completely understand.
