I would hope we could agree on human life being important. Then it's easy to see punching someone in the face is harmful, helping them when they are lost is helpful, and masturbation is neutral. This is just the very basics, morality isn't just black and white. We can agree on the goal, but may not agree on the methods.
But nonsense like "being gay is immoral" makes no sense, because it doesn't harm anyone. It upsets God, apparently, which is a ridiculous notion and should be ignored.
So if someone disagrees with the fact that human life is important like say abortion then what? We just agree to disagree?
Also if you can't even be sure of your existances or that others are not just figments of you imagination then how can you even begin to call for any human rights?
