If something is always wrong it follows that people shouldn't do it even if they believe it is right.

People also justify their actions and convince themselves that something is right when in actual fact it is wrong. So when you say people should do as they see fit you mean any thing is permissible? Even if you believe certain actions like rape are never permissible? What you have said doesn't add up.

How do most rapists know that rape is objectively wrong if there is no objective standard for morality which tells them that?

I would think that the reaction of the victim would probably offer some clues.

So rape is only wrong if there is a reaction? What about raping a corpse? Or an unconscious victim?

So it is wrong on the basis that it is done in secret?

Talk about using your head! 🙄

When you say that certain things are always wrong such as rape, you are affirming the existence of an objective moral standard rather than debunking it my dear Sir. If there were no objective moral standard then nothing would always be wrong.

Use you head occasionally.

It is debunked just because you say so?

Please do tell how do you establish that something is always wrong without invoking an objective moral standard? Surely you have the common sense to see this?
