I am an orthodox Christian, ask me a question!

So why are we required to have moral standards?

We are not required to have moral standards unless we want to make moral judgements. The only way to avoid making moral judgements is to remain silent, as no human person can avoid making moral judgements.

For instance, you are unable to say that anything is worse than anything else for anyone but yourself, if you have no objective epistemic foundations for moral truth. You cannot even say that it's worse for someone else to take a knife and cut your genitals off than not to, since he is merely living up to his own subjective standards if there is no objective standards which apply to you both. And then you are unable to complain over it if that really happens.

Since you will end up predicating moral truths and making moral judgements no matter what, it follows that you are being inconsistent with your epistemic structure and making irrational judgements for which you have no grounds in objective reality.

By "objective" I suppose you mean something that is real and examinable to the scientific standard.

By objective, I mean that which transcends every single human mind. For every single human mind is subjective, and if there is nothing beyond subjective minds, there is no objective standard that in and of itself applies to all subjective minds for reaching objective truth.

A lot of double speak nonsense. Sounds like you let a philosphy class fuck up your head. The truth is neither objective, subjective, moral, or immoral. It exists with or without us. Truth is subject to false interpretation and false meaning. Truth has nothing to do with the human mind or its comprehension, or judgements.
