You can help me understand your position better if you answer this question for me:

Do you think I'm wrong in my belief that there is an objective morality?

In order to not mix things up, I think you're incorrect in your belief in an objective morality.

Oh, you're a coy one.   [howumakemefeel    [bellydance  Come on and give daddy some love.  ;)

Well then.  Let us find something we have a moral disagreement on.  You know I'm itching to play, too.  What about abortion?  What is your stance there?

That's just rich man.  Priceless.

You're fond of dictionary.com

Which definition of 'wrong' are you working on here?  http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wrong

The first - "not in accordance with what is morally right or good" - which is kind of circular.

I'm going to spend the next few weeks trying to wrap my mind around the notion that something can non-objectively 'wrong.'

Then you would understand what I mean by describing something as 'wrong.'

I'm pretty solidly pro-choice, as you would probably guess.  I was getting there - I'm catching up on multiple posts.

You'd consider that to be a moral issue?
