If you want to believe that somewhere out there a god exists and his morality is objective and you can't know 100% for sure what he believes is right or wrong but you're working towards it. How is that any different than not believing in objective morality and working towards being what you believe to be subjectively good. It seems like the same thing to me. So who really cares if there's an objective morality. I feel like I'm just as likely to get it right with my subjective morals based on personal experience and rational thinking as a religious person is based on guessing what they think god likes.
Relative and objective morals work together my love.
How close or how far from the truth, what knowledge, etc, are all important things to consider in relative morality.
Relative morality with objective morality makes sense. Relative morality without objective morality does not.
You and I definitely don't recognize a single good act as it truly is, and don't recognize an evil act as it truly is. We see relative to our perceptions and luminosity and the hues we been given. However that relative perception would be impossible without some sort of relation to objective perception.
This is one of the signs of God in your Soul and your link to him sweetheart.
There you go again with that Insert God argument, whether or not anyone other than you needs it. Because "God" said so, whether it was from the minaret, the mosque, the temple, or the church pulpit.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
