The fact you incorrectly believe you can create your own moral law does not prove that morality is relative.I'm actually insulted that you'd state that you and I share the same morals. You've betrayed yourself here in any case.
Quote:You cannot tell me what morality is because morality is a normative system, and you cannot arrive at a normative system using only descriptive premises, that’s logically invalid.I can tell you that morality is relative. I don't care to bicker with you over which set of moral norms is the correct one, or which set avoids circularity, or which set it logically valid. It doesn't matter in the context of our disagreement about whether or not morality is relative.
Quote:So you’re conceding that you cannot prove morality is relative?As above- your desperation to avoid simply conceding that you and I have disparate moral principles (after having disagreed on those principles -with no concessions from either side....for almost two years now..isn't it?) is beyond disingenuous. As expected, however, you've proven my point for me, you know enough about that disparity to have implied that I am somehow incorrect on some unstated and nebulous issue of my moral principles. Done and done, next?
If you'd like to prove my point for me a second time, try this:
I am of the opinion that the worship of your immoral god is, itself, immoral. Do you agree that the worship of your immoral god is, itself, immoral?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
