I gave you a definition of a secular objective morality. More than a definition, I gave you a primer. We couldn;t agree on definitions because you kept insisting on definitions that would be amenable to our religious moral absolutists, because philosophers...who have for centuries been religious moral absolutists, insisted on that use of the term. Insisted on those standards. They never made sense...but obviously that didn't stop you from parroting them here, in a discussion with me, about secular moral objectivity - you're a product of your culture.
Your entire objection is the objection of a religious nitwit. The same objection levied at every secular morality by every religious nitwit.
"That's like, your opinion, man. "
Are you so stubborn, and so desperate to believe that you have completely rid yourself of what took centuries of religious indoctrination and jack booted control over successive generations to accomplish at a cultural level...that you won't entertain the notion? It;s very lear, to me, that you got your information on what an objective morality was and did from religious nitwits who didn't possess an objective morality and didn't know what it was, and by nitwits trying to respond to that misconception as though it were accurate.
