If there is no transcendent point of moral authority, then morals are completely relative then there is no "evil" and everyone loses their right to pass judgment on anything. They may have an opinion, but that cannot logically condemn it without assuming moral superiority.We don't have an absolute standard for height, and we don't need one to say which of two people is taller. Not having an absolute standard absolutely does not mean you can't compare the morality of two things, relative to each other.
How is height in the same category as morality? height is merely a mathematical measurement (which I hope you believe is absolute).
On what basis do you compare the morality of two things. How do you define one as good and one as bad? There must be a standard higher than other for which to compare them to. Simply comparing them to each other will only get you to one act being closer to the standard than the other is, but you still need the standard
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
