Like I said last night, I believe the only time it is morally permissible to kill another person is in self defense, and in justifiable war (which I believe to be very few, btw).
I do not believe in the death sentence.
Which means, things aren't always 'objectively' wrong. See?
You are correct. Some acts are not objectively wrong. Some are.
Murder is objectively wrong. Rape is objectively wrong.
You have to remember that to kill =/= to murder. Murder already implies that the killing was a wrongful killing.
Killing is more broad than murder, which can include self defense. Which is not wrong.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this.
It's wrong TO YOU. But not TO HIM. That it's wrong is YOUR OPINION. SUBJECTIVE. See?
Lol yes, I get that you think it's subjective. I just disagree. That's all there is to it at this point.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
