Doesn't anyone read Nietzsche any more? There is no rational basis for morality. To search for such a thing is no different from postulating a god. As for the pie--in a world without god, it belongs to the person who takes it. Weaklings (like me) don't like this, so we develop metaethics (including the form based on "reason").
