There is a very recent, extended discussion of this topic on Thread 171350

Indeed, in order to end up making the same assertions and asking the same questions over and over again, you appear to deliberately ignore views other than your own. If you intend to behave differently on this thread, all well and good.
Between you and me, I would like to hear other views as well.

I am questioning those who believe there are no moral absolutes, obviously because if there aren't any it would mean everyone's view is equally valid.

Originally posted by FMFYes I cannot accept that the view 'torturing a baby for fun is morally acceptable' is equally valid to the view 'torturing a baby for fun is not morally acceptable'. Why can you?

Originally posted by FMFAnyone who believes there are no moral absolutes believes by default that all views on morality are equally valid. Else you would have to say that one subjective opinion is more valid than another. Which makes no sense at all.
