You're making my point with your rebuttal. A lot of people think different about right and wrong, good and evil, than I or you do, and that's because they look towards different sources.
I'll assume you think cutting the hands off someone who stole something from you is wrong. But some other people think it's the right thing to do.
What? Are you simply morally superior to them? Or is it that you've received from other sources than them?
Long ago slavery was globally mainstream and accepted until 'some weirdos' pointed to the Bible and said 'Hey, maybe slavery is wrong, according to this we're all created equal under God so we should not hold slaves'.
But no, I guess If you'd been born a thousand years ago you'd just simply have the moral clarity of condemning slavery, honor killings, and other things the rest of the world was happy doing?
> So, wait a minute, you've got no idea what's right or wrong - and you're incapable deriving and figuring it out on your own?
Would this mean that good and evil as absolutes exist?
edit: By they way, you never actually answered my question. Again, how do YOU know what's right and what's wrong?
