What is there to rebut, Henry?
If a person has or thinks their morality is meaningfully subjective, then what's the problem? That they can't, then, think that something is wrong? They obviously can and do. That they can't tell another person that what they think is right..is wrong? They obviously can and do. I know, you think it's "attached to a wider belief-set" -which ofc is christer code for non-belief, but it probably isn't eh? It's not as if an atheist has to hold the position that morality is subjective - after all, I don't
Is the problem, more accurately stated, that -you- couldn't figure out how to make sense of-your- life..if you didn't have what you felt to be an objective morality, from god? That you..apart from whatever ghostly list you have, can't tell right from wrong?
Well, they aren't you, they don't have your problems, they can tell right from wrong, all by their one-sies. That you can't understand how they do that is probably why you have your problems. Huh.
Maybe this deficiency is attached to your "wider belief-set".
