FMF's beliefs cannot account for an objective moral law.

I am not saying he should be able to account for an objective moral law, I am merely pointing out that he can't. And that's why he won't give me a straight yes or no answer to my question.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerWe already discussed this at length. I wrote quite a bit about different or competing moral codes. You chose not to address what I said. Go back and take a look. I'm not typing it out again.
And from your perspective are all morals the same or are some superior to others?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerI am saying that you and I cannot render the moral codes - that we have absorbed and adopted from our upbringing, surroundings and experiences - render them "objective" simply by attaching the label "objective" to them.
Or are you saying that you know for sure that no objective moral law exists?
