Default Re: Moral relativity

[ QUOTE ]
No. My morality is subjectively better; i.e., it is preferred by me.

Then morality doesnt exist. If morality is just subjective preference and your subjective preference is no more valid than anyone elses, then there can be no theories of how humans should interact with one another since you are saying everyone's moral action should be what ever they prefer.

[ QUOTE ]
Absolutely not. My subjective standard is "whatever creates the most overall utility."


[/ QUOTE ]

You are saying this is what people should do, but if your standard is subjective there is no reason for them to do it. So either stop claiming morality is subjective or stop making moral claims. To state morality is subjective and then say people should do what you say is pretty irrational.
