Also since it seems someone took me wrong when I said I wouldn't challenge the belief stated, I guess we can do that in this thread too if you like.
So the question... Does absolute universal moral truth exist? Is there ANYTHING where it can be said that it is morally true universally?
For instance: "Rape is ALWAYS wrong" <<<This would be considered a moral truth. Is it universally true? Is it true even if society deemed that rape was perfectly acceptable?
I believe rape is ALWAYS wrong.
Keep in mind I'm a moral subjectivist so my beliefs (which may or may not be influeced by society) regarding rape trumps any conflicting moral standards set by society.

How is that rape if they consent to it?
