The fact that I feel the need to for some immutable objective moral code that does not depend on anything or anyone but it is simply the TRUTH is something that I just feel.

As a child, I took for granted that such a thing existed. Growing up I realized that there is no proof that such a thing really does exist, everything and anything can be doubted, including the statement "there is no absolute truth".

However, I don't think anyone can really live a normal and happy life based on such an all-doubting attitude. If someone punches me in the face for no reason, I will feel that is wrong wrong wrong absolutely wrong, no matter how much "philosophy" tells me that really that is not the case.
But rationally, I can't justify that.

To take what OP said as an example, let's say the code is "if it hurts someone is bad, if it makes them happy, good". 
Well, [b]Sayz who[/b]? Where did you get that from? How do you know that is the real thing? It seems to me that believing that is "the code" is kind of a leap of faith.

So I find my position incoherent if I say I don't believe in God because there is no proof, but I believe that this is the "code" to live by...since I have no proof for that either.

Whoops, screwed up the quoting in above post

But you do have supporting proof of your "code".  You have lots of actual data to drawn from as your proof.  You can witness someone being bunched/hurt and see the results.  You yourself may have been bunched or bunched someone and can relate/draw from those feelings.  Living life itself forms and defines your code according to your life experiences.[/quote]
