For my reason-internalist friends:
"Reason Internalism also has detractions. First, it seems vulnerable to counterexample insofar as we can conceive of cases where agents have normative reason to Φ and yet they cannot rationally access the state of being motivated to Φ. Cases of…
The biggest failures of Divine command theory is
1. It can easily be internally critiqued (e.g. moral reasons that do not depend on commands)
2. It is completely susceptible to reason internalism and has a rough time around it

1: Some feature of our minded lives like the possibility of thought and reference, knowledge, logic, etc. Call this Y
2:…
An argument against hell for disbelievers:
(1) If some are sent to hell solely for their disbelief or lack of belief then doxastic wronging is true/beliefs can have the property of moral wrongness/blameworthiness
(2) There is no doxastic wronging, and no beliefs can have the…
