[QUOTE="JGG, post: 56851349, member: 142591"] Subjective as in ethics and morals are not something we can actually measure, and each person's view of what is "right" is influenced by a myriad of factors. I'm sure you have, it wasn't that long ago that Judge Roy Moore, and his merry band were trying to convince us that U.S. law should reflect Christian morality. But that's not what [I]I'm[/I] saying. Law doesn't necessarily promote what's moral in our society. However, in hard to argue that nations like Saudi Arabia legistlate their morality with laws such as those against blasphemy. Yes, this is what I mean by subjective morality. However, even when unchanging higher powers lay laws down, they tend to be just as subjective. It really wasn't that long ago that the Bible explained why whites were superior to blacks. There was also a period where God explained why His followers must execute homosexuals and disobedient children. Clearly this "morality" doesn't hold today (except in Uganda). I don't think it's irrelevant. I'm still waiting for your example of how atheists have significantly different morals (specifically in terms of dishonesty) than theists? [/QUOTE]
