Sorry, but that doesn't compute, even on the most basic level. You'd have to consider everyone not following your set of morals as being immoral, given the above.
If morality was indeed objective, there had to be some invisible rulebook after all.
I know not everyone does. Not everyone thinks rape, torture, slavery, etc, is immoral. What I'm saying is I believe the people who think those things are moral, are incorrect. That's what I mean when I say morality is objective. I mean I think some things are inherently immoral even when people don't think they are.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
