Perhaps you seem like the kind of person that's firmly made up your mind that it just is and has to be arbitrary and anyone who disagrees is a moron who can't think good and stuff, lol?
Is your own private morality arbitrary? Did you pick it out of thin air? Does it refer to nothing? Are there no standards or consistency? Is there no method by which you can ascertain something to be moral, immoral, or ammoral..in your own private morality?
Because...unless some, most or all of these things are true, your own morality isn't arbitrary regardless of whatever else it may be. It may be subjective, it may be based upon your whims and desires, but neither of those two things make it arbitrary, they're actually a direct refutation of any claim that your morality is arbitrary.
