Can we trust our Moral Intuitions?

[Secular Elf]

My take on objective morality since exiting the church has been that there is none; all morality is subjective and subject to exactly the things you're talking about, culture, society, experience and so on.  This comes up often in debates with Christians about morality because they see god as the source of all morality and it is absolute and objective in their view despite the many variations in morality that humans have displayed, even within Christianity.  I'm less familiar with this notion of intuitive morality.

Great topic.  About 10 levels deeper than the usual fare on this forum.

This is indeed a great topic. I don't know a whole lot about moral philosophy, but my reading on the subjects of anthropology and sociology indicates that most humans are informed by their culture's mores and values as how they behave within their social structures and what their own personal moral code is usually informed by, largely influenced by religion. That is not to say that there is no variation, as there is where individuals sometimes modify the accepted codes of behavior and values to greater or lesser extent, or in a few cases, like we heatherns, reject them.
