    With no objective good or bad

    Where do pedophilia and rape fall in your intellectually lazy, moral relativism argument? What about freeing enslaved people?

    Saying there is no objective good or bad only shows your lack of moral convictions.

      The argument they were making is poor.

      However, moral conviction has no bearing on objective correctness.

      Edit: If it did, any voluntarily suicide bomber would be objectively correct.

      I’d address the other point but It doesn’t sound like you’re open to viewpoints that are not your own.( and don’t seem to understand what objective truth actually entails )

      Edit Edit:

      “Cowardly Downvotes Are Bad” is another example of something that is subjective.

      I believe it to be true, but that belief doesn’t change the the fact that that statement isn’t objectively correct. ( as in, provably true for everyone regardless of their perspectives or beliefs )
