Delegating your opinions to religious texts is the ultimate cop out in an academic environment

Not necessarily, on the topic of morality everyone has a basis from which they derive what they believe is right or wrong. In the context of an assignment explicitly using logical form to produce an essay, it then becomes out of place.

Divine command theory is more foundationally secure and civilizationally robust than the failed project of the kantian imperative. The fact you’d say something that stupid is pretty decent evidence of you not being an academic, or a shoddy one at best.

Religious doctrine is always going to be “more foundationally secure” to religious people as opposed to secular viewpoints. In the college academic environment, where you’re asked to form your own opinions using your own logic, it’s the easy out to say “the Bible tells me to say this”

I can see the nuance there, it has its place in certain contexts

It’s an objective morality, where has your supposedly secular “morality” taken you exactly? Genocide after repeated genocide? The greatest wars known to man? Climate collapse? Record high suicides and hedonic overload? Confusion of the highest order to the point of making language useless in ascribing definition and identity? Focaultian power worship? You don’t understand logic, and you don’t understand academia—you are a joke.

Whatever, your ilk can’t even replicate, it’s on its last legs before self destruction. The arrogantly ignorant “ideas” have proven themselves to be incoherent on the world stage for some time now. The implosion is already happening
