Yeah, I was explicitly calling for justifications of objective moral standards in the original post. I don’t believe there are any, so wanted to get views that countered that. I happen to be a bit of a hybrid expressivist/error-theorist, but am early in my investigation of these issues so I put is always valuable.
I would define a "wrong" action as an action that causes suffering. So, therefore, going by that definition, any action that causes suffering is wrong. What would you say to that?
