"But aren't these beliefes themselves instilled in people?" I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Could you elaborate?

What you call "good behaviour". Isn't what we percieve to be "good behaviour" a result of cultural indoctrination, thus making it relative?


Yes, our ideas of good behavior are subjective. That is why we have disagreements over what is morally right and wrong. I would not say they arise from cultural indoctrination though. Some beliefs might arise from cultural indoctrination but not all of them.

Just to reiterate, the fact that our ideas are subjective does not preclude the fact that there might be an objective moral law. There are just some serious hurdles confronting human's ability to establish or identify objective laws because of the subjective nature of human experience.
