Re: Moral relativity
[ QUOTE ]
i'll go for no too. And that is because most (not all) christian systems are strongly biased in favor of a tyrannical approach to life. [/ QUOTE ] Prove objectively that tyranny is worse than a lack of tyranny. I'd be interested in hearing you do it in a way that (when consistently applied) doesn't make you an ACist.

Re: Moral relativity
Morals are defined by the society you live in. There is no absolute standard that they follow. Most have developed in a particular society to be beneficial for the common good. When one society's morals differ enough from another's, war sometimes breaks out.

To be able to say yes you have to give reference to an external method of verification I don't accept "because I say so".

The problem with the OP is that the answer can really never be "yes", even though I voted yes. The gotcha on the yes side is that a "valid moral system" that lives within and depends on a society that has a different "valid moral system" is rendered invalid by that dependency.

Re: Moral relativity
Moral relativity is academic dogma. Good luck bucking a propaganda trend of that magnitude.
As foundational operating principles go, this one is the ultimate poison for western society as currently configured.

Re: Moral relativity
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.
