That help?
True, but morality is guidance through out stages, so it must recognized, not made up by us.
And if it's recognized, it's objective, although of various stages, not created by subjectivity.
And it's a guidance, it must truly a guidance, and not something that can lead correctly or incorrectly, and that there is no way to discern truth of it from falsehood.
Because warped morality is the cause of all oppression and chaos, it's people warping morality and justifying evil through it.
Guidance to be reliable, must have not only a reliable source (God) but a reliable means (Kings like Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, etc).
Like the systemic rapes by ISIS.
The Crusades.
Anti-choice.
Anti homosexuality.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
