General question about the possibility of objective moral truth

RE: General question about the possibility of objective moral truth
If there's a standard for what is and isn't moral, it would be something that benefits more than it harms people as a whole. Minorities are commonly held down by majorities, and the poor are commonly held down by the rich, but we know it's wrong because the only difference between the two groups is one has the power, and one doesn't. A christian is typically going to be happier in a community with other christians, but that doesn't mean that right and wrong shift depending on which side of the ocean you're on.
