I think the collective theory of morality is basically the same as the self interest. The collective theory is that it is better for the individuals if they form a collective. And for the collective the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few. So you are better off if you are in a collective, but sometimes in a collective the individual gets sacrificed so you should just hope you are not the individual that needs to be sacrificed. You are better of in the collective and the odds are you won't be the one that is sacrificed.
What is your point? That morality is divine, given to us by "God?" If it is, I'm willing to believe you. All you have to do is prove it to me.

We're past opening argument. No public policy arguments. Proof, my boy. Lay your proof that morality is divine on the table. If not, I move for directed verdict, and sanctions. You haven't come close to proving your case.

The thing is, in any court, anywhere, the notion that there is a higher "divine" law handed down wouldn't even pass summary judgment.
