Determining what is “moral”
We have "moral". This is often mistaken to be "good moral", or "bad moral". Not so. "Moral" is always neutral.
What is "good moral" for someone can be very well be "bad moral" for another person. It can also change over time for the same person, depending of how the situation evolves for that person in particular.
What is "good moral" for someone of one religion, can be very well be "bad moral" for person with another religion.
So "good moral" or "bad moral" is dependant of a numerous parameters, such as culture, epoch, class, age, religion, political views. this is the reason that I call it relative and not absolute.
I would say that "absolute moral" does not exist. "Moral" is always relative.
The last time I said this I was burden with heavy critics. I've thought of it much since. But I've not found any reason to change my opinion. It stands.
