Okay, let me illustrate.

You have a choice of either A or B... which one is morally right?


I don't know what game you are playing, but can you get to the point?



I'm not playing any game. You need to pick either A or B... Hell I'll also give you C D and E also... All represent a choice. Which one is the most morally correct action?



With my current knowledge, I must say they are all moral acts.

Exactly. It's impossible to answer the question. Why though? If all morality has to do with is an idea then you should be able to answer this question with ease. I can have an idea that A is more moral than B without knowing anything. The fact is you have to have an understanding of things to have a knowledge of things. To answer your question if eating meat is moral then we must get an understanding of what eating meat consists of and what about the action would or would not make it moral.

Also, I believe in a objective moral value. If there was no objectivism in morality (which you claim) then we wouldn't be able to say with absolute that Hitler was evil



*sigh* you could have just said this earlier and it would have saved us both a lot of time.

Anyway, I never said morality was based completely on ideas.

About objective moral values. Sure, there are some cases where the moral choice is objective. But there are also some cases where the moral choice is subjective (like eating meat). Tbh, I don't care if you think Hitler is or isn't evil. Some people think Hitler was evil, some people think he was just misguided. It doesn't really matter what you think of him.

You are really murking up the water here. Either a choice is wrong or right. Not sometimes it's wrong sometimes it's right. There is no reason why it would be subjective. It cant be right for one person and wrong for another. You can say it's morally wrong for someone of a certain religion but not for the people who don't hold that religion but all that means is that either someone is right and someone is wrong. But since there is no way to identify which is which we can't say who is right.
