1. Having the required VISA to travel to another country is an objective Law
Which objective law made it so that the earth is carved into “countries”?
Is it moral for earth to be separated by borders called “countries” ?
What is wrong in travelling all over the earth, why do i need a “visa”?
Who made the rules of “Visa”?

Who is the “me” that it is favoring?
Your ego?

One of the greatest laws in your New Testament is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
That’s the basis of morality.
There is a higher Source to which I cannot negotiate with that said that!
I have to comply even if it doesn't agree with what favours me

Did you not mention the word moral and then give examples in brakkets?

If you think one is right or wrong, it depends on the custom of where you are and what they do.

That’s exactly the origin of the word “moral”.
If we all agree in Nigeria to ban Gay marriage and in Germany they allow Gay marriage :the question is with respect to humans, is Gay law on Marriage Objective or Subjective?

Still your subjective opinion.

Another person will also claim “There is the highest Source to which I cannot negotiate with that said that!
I have to comply even if it doesn't agree with what favours me”.

That’s why we have suicide bombers killing for the “highest source” and they can’t negotiate it even if they don’t want to die.
What they have forgotten is that the books they read about the “highest source” and the characters in it are from a Specific CUSTOM.

TenQ:

is Gay law on Marriage Objective or Subjective?
If anyone is going to answer it, it’s going to be based on his subjective opinion.

And is it objective or subjective to dictate to an adult what they should do with their OWN body?

Your answer will still be subjective.

The subjective and the objective, go together, you can’t have one without the other, and that’s because they are ONE, just like a magnet has positive and negative poles, they seem different, they act different but they still come from ONE MAGNET.
Nothing is either good or bad, our thinking makes it so.

What you are advocating for is Theocracy and it will do more harm than good. Anyone can claim “higher source”.

Not really.

I am only saying that humans cannot objectively determine a universal standard of morality because as humans, they can change or modify such laws according to agreements t between some of them

Of course my opinion will always be subjective to me and could be different from your own opinion.

The Truth is that morality should be absolute irrespective of where it is applied on the earth. But we know that it isn't because between us humans we cannot absolutely agree on what is moral and what is not


Does Putin or the Russian army think they are acting immorally by invading Ukraine?

We challenge every law in existence. This is the behaviour of humans.

We even challenge the law of biology which is supposed to be fixed. Thus Bob Risky can show us his brand new bumbum and be proud about it

Your definition of “truth” and what it should be or not, is also subjective to yourself, it’s just like a story of blind men and a elephant.
How do you know your truth is the truth?
Where is truth and false located?

Putin and Russain army are doing their work which is to defend their country.
Justice is doing your own work.

Since there would be arguments on this issue, then it simply probes that human morality on this is subjective.

Morality has always been subjective, people come together for a common custom and manner.

Do you think if you go back in time and wore a clothe, these people will consider you any more moral?
And if they see a modern woman dressing almost naked, do you think they will chide her?

Let's assume (for the sake of arguments) that there is a Highest SOURCE.
But Humans can also have other Sources different from this that they consider as their own highest source.
Eg. Atheists highest source is themselves!

Therefore if EVERYONE takes their Laws from the highest source alone, there would be no problem. But as soon as we adopt other sources apart from this highest source, we arrive at the problem you just showed

You are contradicting yourself.
Why can’t we adopt other HIGHEST sources, we have thousands of gods apart from Yahweh.

Says you.

Why do you think humans universally don't go about stark naked? They may be as skimpy dressed as possible but never naked like animals: Why?

Why do you think people have conscience and why do you think that people can kill their conscience?


Morality is ingrained in every human as their conscience. The society could then make or break this conscience to adopt a new normal.

Humans have gone STARKED NAKED more than they have wores clothes, why do you think humans for 90000 years were universally naked?
Some humans still go stark naked till today, apart from society shame, what is wrong in going naked in itself?
Morality/Customs is always changing.

Conscience is subjective, Do you think the isrealites that killed other tribes will have their conscience fighting them? they were fighting for yahweh.
Do you think a muslim bombing the “infedels” will have conscience of what he is doing is bad, or is it only bad from my perception?
Do you think osama bin laden is sorry for what he did? In some people perception he is an hero
He was fighting for his nation!

Show me where “biology” said this “ An adult human has two testes that produces spermatozoa and zero ovary : biology says this is a MAN”

And even if “biology” said it and so?
How does bobrisky presenting itself as a woman bother you?

By now, you will see that morality will always be subjective with respect to us humans. Unfortunately, morality should be absolute!
