I'm not interested in a fairy tale image of the world in which we say that shit like murder is objectively wrong. NOTHING is objectively wrong. Because the universe itself doesn't care one way or the other. If a man kills another man, and if another human being does not come along and add in his subjective judgment, then the killer will not face any justice. The world will not punish him. He will not burn in hell because hell itself does not exist. Karma will not come back to bit him in the ass. If he harbors no guilty conscience for his actions (believing his actions to be moral from his own subjective standpoint), the man will go about his life and die like everyone else.(December 7, 2015 at 3:31 am)Laika Wrote: Objective moral values do not exist. All values created by humans are subjective. Thus the argument falls apart.
So, it might be okay for one group to permit the rape of children?
Morality itself is a man made concept. Murder, rape, stealing, and other crimes are not wrong because they are wrong. They are wrong only because we say they are, because we believe them to be. We make and change are own morals, both on a personal level and on a societal level. Civilized society has a subjective agreement that child rape is wrong, but there is no objective morality involved.
Objective morality doesn't exist. Get over it.
