What downfall of what objective morality...?

Quote:Murder - Objectively bad.
Theft - Objectively bad.
Gratitude - Objectively good.
Charity - Objectively good.

There is no mention of severity.
You didn't mention any, there's nothing that says an objective morality can't....? How would you rate severity, is there some scale or idea by which you can ay that severity is objectively x? If there is, that's an attempt at an objective morality.

Quote:Murder and theft are both objectively bad but which is worse? Objective morality skips that part. Bible tells us breaking any of the ten commandments are enough to land us in hell. It's not possible to rate the severity of each acts objectively because it may not necessarily coincide with the value system of individuals and also because that would mean Objective morality isn't really all that objective but rather subjective after all.
Why would objective morality skip that part?  

Quote:Rape - Objectively bad.
Charity - Objectively good.

Believe in objective morality? Drop her 2 cents after you're done raping her that'll clear everything up.
I;m not sure why you think objective morality suggests that...that's all you...lol? However, suppose that were true? Wouldn't that immediately contradict your previous criticisms of objective morality as not being able to handle extenuating circumstances? Two cents were the extenuating circumstances, now rape is less bad.......or?


I just dont.......bah, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
