   The fact that people are generally strongly disposed to have moral   
   beliefs probably has a fair bit to do with it. That doesn't give you   
   any non-question-begging grounds for thinking that there are actually   
   any moral truths.   
      
   Plenty of obviously highly intelligent philosophers believe in moral   
   nihilism. Simply asserting that it's moronic just doesn't cut it.
