If that is all morality is, then it might as well be blue, red and yellow actions. Morality isn't about truth, it's about judgement. Or at least, it should be.
My definition of personal morality is studying the consequences of actions. If the objective morality tells me that rape is moral, why should I care? What use is that?
People will say rape can't be on the moral list, because it is immoral. But how do we determine it is immoral? Through consequences.
We may be talking about two entirely different uses of the word "morality". To begin with, we can't possibly agree on what is moral until we agree on what is important. For example, if I say human life is not important, we are screwed. How exactly do you determine who is right, objectively? Neither of us are.
Rape is on the moral list under ISIS, by praying before and after the act they turn it into a form of worship. I read this yesterday, penned by a women who helps rehabilitate escaped women, can I bloody find it now!
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
