Empathy - "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another."

How does empathy make such moral acts right or wrong? Just because you share or understand another's feeling, doesnr make something right or wrong.


Okay, so apparently "empathy" would not be your answer to my question regarding how it is you think you obtained the correct objective morality.  But do you mean to answer my question?  You claim to be in possession of the one and only correct objective morality.  I've asked you how you arrived at that. On what authority do you make such a claim?
