So has slavery and war but I am not advocating for either. We don't need any more moral ought from and is. What we need is to demand that critical decision be based on the science not based on someone having a dream of a witch turning them into a newt.

I’m not advocating for them either, but they all definitely mean something.

Ok? Not sure what to do with that. You assert your feelings and I am supposed to what exactly?

Humans can be wrong. Humans in large numbers can be wrong. Humans for thousands of years in large numbers can be wrong. This is why we don't determine what is true and what is false by polling.

Eh just because an individual or a group finds something “meaningful” doesn’t mean, well, anything

This is the comment from a different user I was originally replying to. I’m not asserting anything other than that widespread belief has “meaning” through its impact on the world. I’m not asserting that those beliefs are factually correct or morally good.

You seem to think I’m advocating for religion, but I have not been doing that.
