I'm sorry, did I write that anywhere? I'm pretty sure I wrote the golden rule is objective, while morality is subjective. Did I have a mental lapse where I said they are the same thing?
I said morality is connected to the golden rule, and it is. I never said survival = morality. I said they have much in common.
Let's get off of our high horse here a bit. Let's pretend that the world doesn't have moral absolutes for a second. What would the outcome of a society-based moral system look like?
What would you consider objective morality? And what evidence would you provide to illustrate that it's more moral than a subjective moral concept?
Since you go off on tangents and assume things, I'll ask you to read my post and make sure your reply is in order and free of illogical arguments.
