What does it matter if there is objective morality or not when so many have different views?
You could argue that morality is innate and instinctive. That accounts for a lot of the similar moral views we have. The differences, and changes over time, are just reflections of how we perceive our innate morality.
Whether morality is truly subjective, or objective and our perception of it varies, seems to matter very little.
I like to think that it is undeniably moral to avoid causing unnecessary pain and suffering and promote happiness and well being. At least I have something to live by and strive to achieve. It seems to me that without some sort of moral compass as I have for myself, people are in danger of just drifting and not aspiring to do anything.
If people think everything is relative, morals are just opinions, everyone is entitled to their opinion, how can they judge another's actions wrong?
