Re: Absolute Morality
[ QUOTE ]
Exactly, which is why these examples of "What happens if everyone decides rape is ok" are silly. The better counter to that example is, "Ok, well, what if rape IS absolutely moral?"

This is silly. morality is based on logic. the reason your example makes sense is because we cannot fathom how rape could possibly be moral. If we were provided with a logical explanation for why rape was moral, i bet society would change its position.
ok, let me go back to my original question. I kill your wife. You lock me up. What gives you the authority to lock me up, and why is that ok? What makes you correct for doing anything at all to me? It seems to me as though your original answer is saying "I am deciding that your morality is not suitable to me so I will judge it wrong and lock you up." or did i get that wrong?
