Like don't kill people is more weighty of a topic than pink is the best? Like if our lives depended on picking Pink or Blue as the best color to show to the aliens to save humanity, you'd probably go to bat for pink pretty hard. That's a sloppy analogy, but the gist of what I'm getting at is buried in there I think.
I don't see why it would be more weighty if it didn't effect me and if human life didn't have intrinsic value. Otherwise, why would I care so much about a woman being raped and then murdered by her fa,mily for being raped on the other side of the globe? I mean, there's empathy so from a purely emotional stand point I would feel sorry for her. But there would be no justifiable, rational reason for me to get really angry at the people who did that to her if I didn't concede that doing so was in fact wrong. But subjective morality people do anyway. (get really angry I mean)
If you believe that in our godless Universe that something like rape suddenly becomes "okay", then, please, do NOT stop believing in God!
