Is it true that there is no absolute morality?

Unless you think my vocabulary is really that poor, you should probably consider why you need to keep repeating the obvious. As commonly used, the word refers to the agency of a sentient experiencer. You say morals are subjective because they are ideas which individuals can make on their own, and which in many cases differ from moral ideas of other.

You should be able to infer from my ability to write sentences and to put words together that I know what words mean, and that I'm attempting to engage in a philosophical discussion rather than a semantic one. I'm saying that your view of what is subjective and objective is arbitrary and ultimately not representative of reality. If I could accurately define a "soul," this wouldn't demonstrate that the idea of soul, or words used about it, mean anything that matters.
