olin posted:I find the lack of objectivity in non-theistic moral systems to make them unfeasible. To murder a random person is wrong. That is not merely an opinion but a fact. I couldn't ascribe to an ethical system that just says "Well, I don't want to murder a person because it would make me feel bad therefore I don't do it." But how do you know that murdering someone is objectively wrong? To put it a bit inflammatory, if God had ordained that murder was objectively good, would you consider it ethical?

olin posted:That type of ethics bothers me although he is being totally logically consistent. I think the interesting question is: Why specifically does it bother you? Does it bother you because his values don't reflect your own moral code? Does it bother you because he applies different standards to his family than to a corporation? Or does it bother you because being subjective means his values are subject to constant changes and thus unpredictable to a certain extent?
