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.Every time you say the words "I think" or "in my opinion," you are contradicting your position. It doesn't matter what you think or believe. . . it's completely, absolutely irrelevant. Unless you have an OBJECTIVE REASON for holding your position, which you don't, then any conclusions you make about objective truth will be unsupported. What you have is a cultural weight of SUBJECTIVE "reasons"-- affirmations from your church friends, maybe a few deep-feeling experiences, and so on.
