Subjective Morality?

[bennyboy]

What deserves mention..at this point, is that a moral subjectivist can't refer to any fact at all in justification of their moral statement and remain true to the contention of moral subjectivity.

Cannot use any fact at all? That's a really limiting criterion, dude, and I don't accept it.

If I feel that rape is bad, then the fact that I see a man on top of a woman, and she's screaming "Help help, get off me!" doesn't suddenly make my moral sense objective. Nor does it make the rape objectively wrong. What it does mean is that I'll get enraged, and possibly club the man into a quivering mess with whatever blunt object I find handy.

Nor, even if I'm drawing on objective facts to establish a moral system, does it make that system objective. For example, if I think causing suffering is immoral, and I look to brain scanning as a means of determining what causes suffering, this does not make my moral position objective. That's because no physical system or property can decide WHAT MATTERS.

Does it matter if someone is raped? If so, show me objective proof that this is true. Can't be done, because there's no such thing.
