But there are certain things (i.e. theft, rape, murder) that are so extreme where it's simply wholly unreasonable to think there could ever exist enough mitigation where someone with the human condition could rightfully conclude it is good.

How many people voted for Bush in the last US election? He's commiting both massive murder and massive theft, but a hell of a lot of people still think it's ok. Why? Because they have a different set of morals/ethics.

Theft and murder are vague concepts. Some will call two very similar actions murder and heroism, theft and justice, etc etc.

And rape... I can't think of a more vague concept. Nobody knows what is and what isn't true rape, they just see how they feel about the particular situation and make a judgement, but if you analyze their principles you'll find a lot of contradictions. This applies to many moral issues, but especially rape.

The point is, morals/ethics are extremely subjective, how can you not see it?

You never answerered my main points.

Do you agree that morality necessitates bias?
