The Red and Black

I admit that I'm not as well-versed in philosophical diatribes as some of my fellow students at the university, but I would like entertain a few thoughts. Bertrand Russell, the great atheist thinker of the early 19th century, when asked about about how he differentiated between right and wrong (morality) apart from God, said, "The same way I differentiate between green and yellow, by my feelings. What else?" After this existential declaration, the idea could be proposed that in some countries they are taught to love their neighbors and in others they are taught to eat them. Which is right? If Mr. Balashov wants to impose the empirical law, his statement should be empirical, or otherwise it's dead. The empirical law is based on observation and experiment, and his statements lack the observation that most countries are indeed founded on either a religion or the worship of a power. Godspeed
