Default Re: Moral relativity

[ QUOTE ]
If you chose no could you please post the objective external standard you use to tell if a system of morality is valid or not.

[/ QUOTE ] I chose no, but I never claimed I could tell if a system is morally valid or not. The only things I have to build my standard on is reason, logic and at the core the feelings about morality I have as a human being. When I chose no, it was because I think these feelings are not completely determined by culture.

If you can't tell what makes moral systems valid or invalid how can you possibly claim that you can tell that some are valid and some are not?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't claim that. It's just a belief of mine that some are valid and some are not. If you had included "I don't know" in the poll, that's what I would have chosen.
