But morals aren't absolute, they are relative to people and their societies. Does Sweden have much in common on a moral ground with the Leopard society?

The leopard society was a society in west Africa which existed until the mid-20th century. They fully believed that it was morally acceptable, heck even encouraged, to find victims, kill them and eat their flesh. Is this a moral built into all humans, or just their society in particular? It take it this doesn't happen in Sweden.

So if you would somehow get the chance to back in time and visit them, you'd just be "This is cool guys, this makes perfect sense for you in your cultural context. Keep doing what you do."

Personally I wouldn't because cannibalism is seen as completely unacceptable in my society, I would be horrified. And that very fact proves my point.

If I went back in time and came across them I would condemn them because their morals differ so much from the morals of 21st century Britain. I certainly wouldn't be "cool" with it.

On what grounds would you condemn them?

In that l believe that murder and cannibalism are immoral acts, I would protest against them doing that. So it would be based on my personal feelings, feelings that most likely reflect the morals of my society.

They never saw murder and cannibalism as an immoral act. In their eyes it was completely acceptable to do these things.

But my personal feelings are irrelevant to mine or your point.

What matters is that these two societies have completely separate sets of morals, to the point that one of the most heinous crime in western society (killing and eating another human) is actually encouraged in the other society.

I ask, how can two societies be so radically different in their moral code, and yet their morals be absolute? It's actually impossible.

Because the cannibals are wrong of course. Duh.

I'm sorry but quite frankly I think you have an appalling argument.You can just say "oh well cos its wrong,duh"....how is it wrong? and dont just say,cos it is...
