Moral agency requires grounding one’s beliefs in evidence. If a moral system declares believing without evidence to be a virtue, it asks to give up moral agency.

Belief comes only in cases where proof is not available or not practically doable. It’s like our belief on pseudo random number generators—we believe that no human can predict the next number because no human can read the whole sequence. Moral agency is just a model.

In one of the tea shop discussions, was once asked: If a person morally believes that raping/killing is not wrong, is he justified to rape/kill. Moral agency may make an act [appear] justifiable to one, though unacceptable to another.
