Okay, then do you agree that one conclusion going w/ the assumption there is no rt. and wrong and we just go by feelings, is that there shouldn't be any punishment (ignoring the fact of preventing chaos and society's rules and etc...) if a person does something that is rt. to them (ex: kill an infant that is perfectly healthy and has done nothing) they shouldn't get punished since it was technically good and rt. for them?

I do not believe anyone should ever be punished for anything.

However, that does not mean that I think such a person should not be locked up until we can find a way to ensure that they do not do such things.

This is because I do not want to have my children murdered, or indeed the children of others murdered. I do not like it.

In other words, if people do things that I do not like I will try to stop them. One of the best means of stopping them is convincing others to help stop them - a society.

If there is no right and wrong, then there can't be abs. truth, right?

Remember that we are talking about morality here.
There is no right or wrong; hence there is no absolute moral truth.

Ignore the society protecting itself part and just focus on the morality of the situation. If you take the protecting out then you still have the same thing, people techinically have the rt. to do that then if going by what you've said in the previous post.
Yes, people can do what they want and face the consquences of those actions.
