...do you favour it? if so, why? How would you resolve the difference if someone thought it was not immoral to kill you, when you believed that their motivation was unjust?
...if you do not favour moral relativism, what 'absolute' would you say morality is relative to? or rather, how would you explain that it is not relative?
Looking forward to your answers! Most of the atheists I know do try to be good people(with much success I might add!)...but I am curious about atheistic morality and the roots of its foundations.
I'm sure a lot of Christians are unsure about the prospect of morality without reference to some divine absolute, and it might be fruitful in establishing some common ground to share on this matter. Kindness, righteousness, honesty, compassion...we all seem to believe that these are good traits, regardless of whether we believe in divinity or not (Piety though, I'm not so sure! ha ha j/k)
Anyhow, I look forward to your responses!
Thanks for your time.
