[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 76284428, member: 412388"] Everyone who thinks it's subjective obviously thinks it's all subjective. But I haven't seen anyone who is supporting objective morality say if it's only some moral acts are objective and the rest subjective. But take an example like beating a dog. It might be seen as immoral. Maybe objectively so. But I just slapped my grandson's puppy on the butt because he started to chew a power cable. That would be considered acceptable. But if I beat it to death with a shovel...maybe not so much. So there's a hundred ways I could beat the pooch* from a small slap to the shovel. [I]At what point does it become objectively immoral? [/I]And how is that exact point determined? I'd suggest that there is no definitive point. It's like a gradual change from green - it's OK, to red - it's not OK. There's no point when one colour becomes the other. And so no point when it changes from moral to immoral. Except if we personally select an arbitrary point and say 'That's it'. Which will be entirely... subjective. * not a euphemism. [/QUOTE]
