Haven't you been reading what I have posted about morality as it petains to killing? What about the moral dilemma I set you?
I said I don't agree with killing another human being for the sole purpose of eating their flesh. Do you?

-Removed-I personally believe it is wrong, you seemingly would enjoy a human rump steak? Or do you prefer fillet?
Cannibalism is mentioned several times in Scripture (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53-57; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10), but in each case, the practice is regarded as a horrible curse and inhuman act of desperation. Moses and other prophets predicted that, if the Israelites forsook God, they would fall into such awful degradation as to cannibalize their own children. These harrowing prophecies were fulfilled during the siege of Samaria during the reign of King Jehoram (2 Kings 6:28-29). Cannibalism was the physical horror which accompanied the spiritual horror of apostasy.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerEven though it is, as you admit, a personal opinion, you slap the label - "objective" - on it in order to lend what you say and think an air of authoritative self-importance and to signal your absolute certainty that you are right.

Originally posted by @fmfLots of people subscribe to an objective moral standard, meaning they believe certain actions are always wrong in all circumstances. You huffing and puffing all you want doesn't change that.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerA lot of people declare their own moral sensibilities - and all the personal preferences and personal opinions intertwined with them - to be "objective", you are among them. At one point you seem to be declaring eating human flesh to be wrong because of an objective standard and then you admitted that it was a personal opinion. The two are not interchangeable in the way you seem to think they are.
