Argument is that you can’t just call something objectively evil or good. “Murder isn’t evil, what if it was in self-defense.”
That’s overcomplicating it. If you weren’t missing any context you could get around “what if” situations.
Now I don’t think we can tell right from wrong at all times. Everything from personal experience, current position in history, and traits like greed make it hard for us. But still, there should be a right answer.
In practice this just means if I feel a topic is controversial to me, I will keep thinking or researching about it until I have a pretty stable stand. As opposed to “it’s confusing so I don’t want to think about.”
I could at least get closer to right answer this way.
Hope this helps!
Morals are objective.
Can you elaborate?
Sure!

I was talking about this with a coworker recently and I don’t believe they are.
