Morality is subjective and, no, that doesn't mean "anything goes" nor does it mean "all moral codes are equal".
I'm still curious if someone could explain to me exactly what "objective morality" is supposed to be, even in theory.
Quote:You're equivocating on the term "mind". My OP and the questions I posted were about atheist opinions on morality. I'm trying to keep my opinions from taking the discussion off topic.My intent is only to explain why Christians don't get an "out" here, trying to create a special exception for God, that somehow a code created in the mind of God is not subjective as it would be for any other mind. This strikes me as the logical fallacy, special pleading.
