To take one example: it is true that people commit murders; how does this fact in combination with belief in the existence of Rta lead us to conclude that people should commit murders? And I hope this application is pragmatic enough for you!
How could it not come to such a conclusion if it is a principle that unites natural and moral claims? If murders exist then they are part of the natural order, correct?
I expected you to be more sincere than that.
Whilst I understand that we are engaging in a critical discussion of what is a core belief for you, I would ask that you avoid in engaging in ad hominen remarks.
