There are truly moral absolutes, you merely ought to look deeply adequate into the info of the problem. each and every of your examples has flaws in attempting to coach your element. as an party, the gun one says you imagine homicide is incorrect yet you would shoot someone in the adventure that they attacked you. the challenge is that it would not be homicide, it should be self defence, it truly is rather diverse. God would not favor us to homicide both, yet there are situations the position he condones killing (alongside with criminal executions). As I suggested, you ought to look on the specifics of each and every condition. yet when something is incorrect below an exact set of situations, it is going to continuously be incorrect interior of those situations. Morals are absolute. they do no longer change from man or woman to man or woman both.
