    subjective and every individual has his/her own subjective. That's a fact and it is called "moral relativity". Back to square one.

    Perhaps I should have said moral relativity. There is that better? It is when everyone does what is right in their own eyes and we must all tolerate that.

    yep and as long as they have not injured you or caused damages its tuf ruk, they have the right to do it. If they injure or damage you then you have the right to sue them in court and prove the injury or damage.

    regardless of what people claim, their actions assign the god they believe in since there is a god for every human thought and condition.

    Many people worship Koalemos now days.

    most big bodies regardless how they identify had morals pounded into them from their parents as children.

    Morality is simply codified survival tactics. Women and children are protected because they're the future of the tribe, etc.

    Wolf packs have codified 'morals', as do many primates.

    No, it’s called subjective morality. And it’s a demonstrable fact as evidenced by the entirety of human history, and the ever changing morality of humanity.

    The ever changing morality reflects the fickle human nature. One generation kills their young in the womb, another kills them after they are born.

    you are confused again, violation of centuries long held fundamental morals is not considered a new moral, its a violation of morals.
    Case in point murder is ok to keep yourself in power
    Morals are taught to you or beaten into you by your parents baby on.

    All of which is moral or immoral depending on the time and culture. That’s what subjective means.

    and even if this somehow did take place, one instance in time is not "depending on time and culture", its one time in the roman culture. So we need several examples of when this took place from you to believe you. Looks like you have nothing for us anyway

    Ok then that is your brand of morality. It is also, as I have said, moral relativity sometimes called "situational ethics". I'll stick with the premise there are moral absolutes.

    You’re unaware of the rampant killing, stealing and general debauchery of Rome?

    I simply gave you an example. There are countless others throughout history, and even today as morality is different in each culture.

    But you are demonstrably incorrect, as has been shown.

    none of which established new or changed any morals of the past.
    you failed to come up with so much as one citation, as usual from you your fertile imagination is nothing more than yet another example of your fertile imagination

    nothing to see here folks ssdd

    Id be inclined to run with that as well, there is always an exception somewhere which of course serves to prove the rule
