It is generally recognized that they do not. For example, Catholics do not recognize Mormon baptism because it is not Trinitarian, and is therefore not a baptism into the Trinitarian God. The Mormon god is a very radical departure from classical theism and Christian theology.
Again, "without consent" it not a context in which rape is permissible. You are playing word games. The definition:
You are claiming, "The act of rape is not wrong in the context where it is consensual, therefore it is not absolute." This is clearly sophistry. The definition is saying that the moral absolutist thinks there are acts that are always wrong, including in every context. So if someone thinks an act such as rape is always wrong, including within every context, then they are a moral absolutist. That's what the definition says.
If I can jump in, the definition of consent can be verrry nebulous. How many drinks does it take before someone can no longer consent, even if they appear to be conscious?
Correct! The context is included in the term. Just like it is with murder.
No. The fact that rape was seen as allowed at some point means that moral vary over time and are not absolute.
I would think rape is as close to a moral absolute is you can get. But as there have been people who disagree we cannot say that it is truly absolute.
Yes. The overton window is a thing. But if moral absolutes exists, is the overton window is nothing more than a determination of what is considered to be subjectively popular at that point in time.
The moral priorities of societies are often encoded in their laws. The variance that has been discussed here represent these.
LOL.
More word games?
No, your and their idea of morality changed. The morality of direct abortions has not. Moral truths are outside the mutable thinking of human minds. So, Who can tell us the eternal moral truths?
It’s a sentence for goodness sake. I used it to communicate my point. That there is no objective morality because ANY example of something has been either moral or immoral at some point.
