Quote: Knowing it is absolutely wrong to murder can stop an individual from murdering while to say it is arbitrary wrong to murder can justify murder in one's mindPeople justify murders even when they do conceptualize murder as absolutely wrong, most of us are morally compromised, though maybe not about murder (lol). I doubt it's uility, and would point out that it's utility is not a demonstration of it's objectivity...unless you only seek to demonstrate that it's objectively useful, but not necessarrily objectively true.

Implicit in your assessment of the romans and greeks is that you still consider what they did to be wrong..you simply understand they might not have thought so. Whereas you can see no circumstance that would diminish the moral culpability of Albert Fish. You consider both acts wrong, you're differentiating between the actors, not either acts moral status.
