GBM, I tend to agree with where you’re going (or at least where you’re starting). But saying that we shouldn’t throw morality out because it’s “useful” seems a little question-begging. It may indeed be useful for some purpose, X, but if someone doesn’t care about X, this doesn’t really give you much traction.
