You rather made my point - everything about morality is retaliative. There are no absolutes - it is up to your (and my) prospective. For the record, I do wrestle with my employment there . . .yes, we did stop many, many Russian tanks. But I also suspect other systems have been used in Gaza by the IDF. As for speeding and taking out Musk - 100%, sign me up for that moral tradeoff right now!!!

I do not adhere to moral relativity at all. It is, I think, an untenable position that makes pedophiles and genocides as valid as charity work and kids’ hospitals.

Also, how can you believe absolutely that there are no moral absolutes? It was pointed as illogical more than a couple millennia ago.

  It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.

    I don’t think so. You said “everything about morality is relative”, what do you subscribe to?

  Ok sure, then what is the source of this moral authority which defines all morality?
  
  Morality is a social construct, not an immutable part of the universe, and there are many societies on Earth so what is ‘moral’ completely depends on where you are.

    I’m talking about normative ethics, not descriptive.
