Maybe you can explain to her that internal constructs can feel like external entities.
also from reading her blog post I got the impression rationality was a limit on her ability to choose her beliefs in this area rather than her means for doing so
“I couldn’t pick consistency over my construction project as long as I didn’t believe it was true.”
Also this, “until I discovered that their study of virtue ethics has led them to take a tumble into the Tiber” makes it sound like she is a “pragmatist” or whatever the term is or she thinks finding the true morality has to be satisfying for some reason.
Also I can’t believe this doesn’t bother people. If you are happy to worship someone who sends people to hell your morality sucks. That your morality isn’t currently (directly) harming anyone doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous.
Ahh, but, you see, it’s their choice to go to hell and not something the omni-benevolent creator of the universe does. But obviously it’s their choice at the instant of death and not a moment afterwards when they realise that god actually exists, one can’t repent or believe then...
“she felt like morality “loved” her.”
