It makes perfect sense. Everyone has different standards of taste and beauty. But no one is out there saying, "there is no such thing as delicious food" or "No one in the world is beautiful" because of that. Why would morality be any different.
Are you seriously saying aesthetics and ethics are the same??? If thats your belief than you shouldn't seek justice or revenge when a man rapes and murders your mother. To him it was a beautiful thing. Would you seek the same justice/ revenge if the same man planted a garden of red roses because he thought it was beautiful???
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
