My views on objective morality

[robvalue]

We have an assumed objective reality, which "exists" independent of anyone's opinion about it.

We then have abstract concepts, which we have formed, to help us make sense of the reality.

These concepts don't literally exist, and they can only be usefully compared if we're doing so using the same standard. No one has a problem with everyone using cm to measure length. If instead, no one would agree and we all used slightly different ways of measuring it, we would get nowhere.

That's what happens with morality. We all measure this abstract concept slightly differently. There is no agreed standard. And if there was one, what use would it be?

I think what theists really mean/want is a referee with a final say. Thing is, they can't agree on what the referee thinks, and they'll even subjectively override the referee themselves if he goes beyond what they think he should say.
