Wellbeing is a notion that entails our values about the good life, and questions of values are not ultimately scientific questions.

In the case of Donald Trump I think you've got to accept that a lot of what's going on in political discourse is based upon judgement. How the economy works - how people work - what will come to pass - what will not come to pass - what is possible - what is not possible. There is this whole modal dimension. There's a lot in politics that is making a judgement about what might be and can be and would be. Trump frightens a lot of people but there is a bizarre possible world in which it turns out as he's vindicated, though most of us think the evidence is against it.

Morality is more than possible without God, it is entirely independent of him.

If you believe you are right, then you should believe that you can make the case that you're right. This requires you to deal with serious objections properly.

The greatest moral failing is to condemn something as a moral failing: no vice is worse than being judgmental.
