Agnosticism is the only logical stance regarding the supernatural.

Deduction can only be logically discovered as a result of a generalization arising from inductive processes. Due to this fact, non-axiomatic knowledge is impossible, and truth can only be viewed in terms of probability. Thus, even if evidence for the supernatural did exist in the natural world (and no such evidence has been found), we could not even be certain of its existence. Atheism cannot prove itself either, as no evidence for the lack of a supernatural can exist within the natural realm. Therefore, due to these uncertainties, agnosticism is the only logical stance.

Elevation of concepts to moral status is logically baseless.

Moral laws do not exist in the natural realm, and without the certainty of the supernatural, cannot possibly be known.

Reduction of moral laws to desirability is logically sound and lessens human suffering.

All moral laws can be reduced to concepts which are either desirable, undesirable, or neutral. By reducing all moral laws to their desirability, concepts which are undesirable will not be upheld. Thus, previous moral laws which caused unnecessary suffering will be eliminated.
