I can't really comment further on Geo's position without knowing more specifics about his beliefs, but I do hope that he realizes that he won't be able to convince anyone of the rightness of the beliefs without advancing some logical argument in its support rather than relying on some subjective, personal moral intuition.

Yes, I do realize that. But I do not feel compelled to convince anyone of the rightness of my beliefs. It is sufficent to me that I believe them.

Furthermore, Geo, don't you think it would be good to know that your beliefs are right because they are grounded in reason rather than simply because you have an unassailable confidence in your intuition that they are right?

If I felt compelled to convince you logically that I was right then yes that would be good to know. Since I do not, it is not neccesary.
