You don't seem to get it. How hard can it be? It doesn't matter if the cannibals thought murder and cannibalism was a perfectly fine thing to do because they did wrong!


I almost started off my last post by saying you don't get it. Because you genuinely can't see it when it's right there in front of you.

Look, seriously. Wrong by whose standards? Your standards? My standards? Their standards?


No, wrong by the standards of absolute morals.


Ah yes, the absolute morals that some societies follow and other societies don't. Those absolute morals.

It wasn't wrong by their standards, it was wrong by our standards. You can't have absolute standards when two or more sets of standards exist, ergo the standards are relative.
