"The wrongness of torturing babies just for fun, is as objectively true as 1+1 =2, and the existence of an elephant at my local zoo."
Can't quite grasp that.Could you please provide your proof of that claim?
You have given a moral imperative as your example. I wasn't aware that moral imperatives were objectively true. Your claim, your burden of proof.
At present, I hold the position of moral relativism. I may indeed change my position if you can prove your claim.
I very much doubt that you hold that position. Once one takes a subjective moral position, for example the Hipocratic "do no harm" position, it is then possible to make objective moral assessments against that standard.
Just my 0.02.
