The Case For A Non-Absolute Morality
#3
RE: The Case For A Non-Absolute Morality
I had noticed a while ago that even Billy Lane Craig had dropped the term 'Absolute Morality' in favour of 'Objective Morality'.

Either way, it's still bullshit. Morality is subjective... full... stop.

We can invent a scale (subjectively) and compare acts / behaviours / cultures objectively against that scale e.g. Sam Harris's Moral Landscape so yup fair enough 'well-being' can be measured objectively but only if one (or all) decide that human well-being is a good idea.

We can only know for sure if it's a good idea if we can first determine how it impacts the intended outcome of the universe.

There are only two ways to ascertain the intended outcome of the universe:
a) god(s) told us
b) hindsight.

So, good luck with that.

The MEANING of life is the experience of living ... (from Frank Herbert)
The VALUE of life is the legacy we leave behind ..... (from observation)
