How about something a little more ambiguous from person to person and society to society? How about abortion?

Many people think abortion is an abhorrent act, totally immoral; where as many others  think that abortion is morally acceptable and that the rights of the mother supersede the rights of the foetus. How can moral absolution be right when some people believe terminating a pregnancy should be punishable, and others believe it to be an acceptable right?

The morals aren't absolute by any means. The morals are relative, from society to society, even from person to person. You can't just say "abortion is wrong, and there is a clear defined line and everyone sits on the one side", when it is blindingly obvious that this isn't the case. There really is no defined right or wrong answer that is agreed on by everyone.

Very bad example, see above my reply to Rath.

 

No it was a good example.

I know the facts are same for everyone. The interpretation of the facts is different and that leads to an array of moral standards on the subject (which you acknowledged). There is no supernatural influence that sways people's morals in one direction if this is the case.

People are making their own minds up on moral standards in this case, that can't be absolute.
