Objective morality as a proper basic belief

[downbeatplumb]

What you have to realise is that because you and all the people you know feel one way about something does not make it true for the whole world for the whole of history.
Morality is entirely subjective and down to the society you live in at the time.
Lets take your example of raping a small girl.
This is being done now in the name of god in ISIS controlled areas, they take the girls of infidels and it is their holy duty to rape them.
In that society it is doing gods work and so is a moral duty.
Subjective.

If that is the case, then it seems incoherent to condemn such acts.

We know taste in food is subjective, if ISIS members ate a food you disliked, would you condemn them and say them eating and enjoying that food is wrong?

So if morality is also subjective, why would you say it is wrong what ISIS members do when they rape little girls?

I mean, you will never say it is wrong if they eat and enjoy a food you dislike, so why you say they are doing something wrong if they rape a little girl?

If you really believed morality is subjective, then when you hear that they rape little girls, you would respond in a way such as "well, i find that disgusting, but its not wrong".

Is that what you believe?

No because my morality is built on my own empathy.
I can imagine what it would be like to be a brutailised girl and I think its horrible. I am nice to a certain value of nice so I would not want to inflict harm on others.
But do you know what you need to overcome morality in people who have empathy?
You need a strong enough idea, such as religion or nationalism.
With these you can make normal people monsters.
