If morals are not based on an Absolute Truth, what are they based - TopicsExpress



          

If morals are not based on an Absolute Truth, what are they based on? The only alternative is relative truth. This, by definition, is a truth which one person accepts, but someone else may reject. It comes down to opinions, but opinion is not Truth, Truth is Truth, it exists independently of opinion. You must either admit that there is an Absolute Morality, or you can maintain a relative morality, but by doing so you must accept everyone else’s behavior and morals, including those that you think are wrong: pedophilia, slavery, abuse, etc. Only when you admit that there is an Absolute Moral Truth, one which is above personal opinion and beliefs, one which is unchanging, can you claim that an action is morally right or wrong.
