Finally, someone who can actually understand the logic in my argument. Someone who sees the light and the truth in moral subjectivity.

For what it's worth, most of what you're saying I already said on pages 5,6

Moral subjectivity = Relativism/ Utilitarianism. Which is precisely why we seem to to be losing sight of even the most fundamental moral principles.

Simple you are equating that if someone behaves a certain way they think it is morally acceptable, that is wrong. There have been serial killers and serial rapists who knew what they were doing was wrong.
I am saying that people may behave a certain way, molestation, rape, incest, murder, theif, and know what they are doing is wrong. That is what the criminal justice system is based on. You don't have an argument, just because Roman Emperors were known to have bisexual relationships does not mean that they thought it was right.
Take the recent case of the Austrian man who imprisioned and repeatedly raped his own daughter, he admitted that he knew it was wrong.

Moral relativism is BS. I don't care if 10,000 years from now every human being on the planet thinks it's okay to rape a 6 month old child, it will still be wrong. Period. End of story. There ARE moral absolutes. People argue where the lines are drawn, but someone is right and someone is wrong. Some people may think these fundamental moral "bare minimums" come from God, some people may think they come from an innate sense of morality that is simply inherent in humans for an unknown reason. The people who think they do not exist are lying to themselves or are simply insane.

Yes, i agree, but, wrong still exist now and then.
Just like you, me and everybody else, we change thru time, still we exist.
You are different from 2 years ago however no one can say you dont exist.

The same was said of those who thought the world was round at one time.. don't be so short sighted. Mortality is relative.
BTW it doesn't have to happen 10,000 years from now, 7 year olds are subjected to ritualistic insemination through oral means by men in the Sambia tribe of Papua New Guinea in modern times.
And guess what, their entire society accepts this because they are raised from birth with this tradition and sexual drive is a learned behavior, further proof that morality is relative.

People are different from others, this does not mean people dont exist.
They do exist although not exactly the same.
Just like evil.
