morality is subjective and people don't have free will
RE: morality is subjective and people don't have free will
1. Morality is an interesting topic. In my opinion even if there was an objective morality, like say, if morality was based on survival and the continuation of our
species and everything done in support of it is what is considered moral - it would still be subjective because what one person does for his survival wouldn't
be what another person does for his survival and both can find each others actions immoral in accordance with their own values.

In short, a person would consider what advantages that person moral and what disadvantages immoral. An action that advantages him could be what
disadvantages someone else, this is the origin of subjective morality. The downfall of objective morality is that it doesn't factor in circumstances leading to
an action, according to it certain actions are immoral no matter the circumstances. If taking the life of another was objectively immoral a person killing in
self defense would be immoral. A selfish interest is always at play whenever an action is carried out and thus morality is ultimately subjective no matter the
circumstances.

2. Free will is yet another interesting topic. I do believe in free will. If we have options we have free will. I don't think a single course of action is the only possible action in any given situation. We always have
the choice to do or not do something. I believe that constitutes free will.
