I fully accept morality of one society may (and does) vary from another society. I also don't claim my morality is better, only that it is my morality. What part of that aren't you understanding?!
The last time I asked you a question you responded with one word, 'gibberish'.

What do you mean IF morality is man made? Of course it's man made, no god was involved so we say when there are moral absolutes and there may be no moral absolutes.

Humans make the moral rules not some demented deity.
If by 'man' you mean 'society' then which society has the right moral system when they contradict each other? Or are all societies moral systems right?

And you couldn't figure out which question I was referring to? OK, you're not dishonest, just monumentally stupid.

Don't you decide what is a 'good' way to treat someone and what is 'bad' way to treat someone?
No.

How is your subjective opinion absolute?
Well it is, because I apply it to everyone, but that is not what I was referring to.

In essence you are claiming that your own moral law is absolute and even God is subjected to it? 🙄
No.

What standard of morality do you use to judge whether or not something is morally right or wrong?

Do you mean:
1. You will not do it.
2. You would not let someone else do it if you could help it.
3. Society will punish it.
4. God will punish it.
5. Something else.

Clearly there are people who do harm/kill/rape children for the sole purpose of 'having fun'. So if you mean 1 or 2 then your 'wrong' is necessarily rel ...[text shortened]... ive. If it all depends on God, then it is just Gods opinion. What other suggestions do you have?
By wrong I mean 'evil' as opposed to right or 'good'.

It was gibberish.

Why do you never acknowledge a reply? Can you please acknowledge that you have digested my answer and will not ask me the same question again tomorrow? Here it is again:

' I fully accept morality of one society may (and does) vary from another society. I also don't claim my morality is better, only that it is my morality. What part of that aren't you understanding?!'

Thanks for clarifying that you aren't claiming that your morality is any better than that of Nazi Germany. At least you are being honest about it.

So basically you don't have a clue what you mean.

Or alternatively you don't have a clue what 'good' and 'evil' is.
