Objective vs Subjective Morality.
Personally, Im a strong believer in new age Karma, and I think youll find a hard arguement that all major religions are based on that same idea: do good to others, youll have good done to you.
That being said, I think an important point has been overlooked. Subjectively, we all can find ways to justify that our actions are good, that the things we do in the world make it better. Sure, there are always more things we can do good, and less bad things we can do bad.
However God is deemed as an objective morality. Now, my question is if this objective morality in any real way impacts and controls that of the subjective morality?
Ok so, what i mean is in the context of church, does having someone 'watch your back' make you do better things? Or is it the subjective community in which you are involved in when you are tied to a church make you do better things? And outside of that, if you are not involved at all, does that make you a person unconcerned with values associated with being in that community?
carinia Reviewed by carinia on . Objective vs Subjective Morality. Hey guys, it's been a while, decided to drop by and visit for a bit :) Something that's come up in a lot of my debates in real life and elsewhere on the intarwebs is the idea of subjective morality, the idea that the non-believer can't come up with a world view beyond like and dislike. For example, the idea that without God, the only reason someone would deem murder as "bad" is because they dislike murder, obviously a stronger form of dislike than say, not liking vegetables, but a dislike Rating: 5
