Take the first sentence:
"Moral subjectivism is the belief that moral values are subjective (as opposed to objective). " This is basically what I would like to hear some input on. It means (in english) that our (humans) sense of right and wrong is man-made. Some believe that ethics and morals exist throughout all human kind regardless.. kind of like some sort of DNA.
Take the value that killing a human is wrong. Why is it wrong? Is it wrong because the majority of us humans have come to together and concluded it is wrong? Or is it ABSOLUTELY (in the sense of being true regardless of what mankind thinks) wrong?
I would rather this not turn into a discussion over whether killing is moral or not.
