why do people constantly confuse morality with legality. Morality is the system of what we should and and should not do and it IS subjective to each of us and the born from the society we came from. Of course we Can judge each other's moralities and actions. That's our each individual right.
Legality is what you Must or must not do and comes from the social contract we have with each other in the form of our governance to achieve and maintain our defined society. These laws may or may not be moral. There are plenty of examples of immoral actions that are legal and even of moral actions that are illegal. Even more so since there are varied definitions of morality.
Long story short morality |= legality
