That seems a bit contradictory. you believe in objective morality but don't believe in god, but believe that obective morality judges actions, ..... action {that}would be considered correct by an allknowing being.
Which you don't believe exists.

I believe morals and morality is "set" and I use that term loosely, by society in general, how else can it be?

When you look back in time at what was "moral" and "immoral" you get one thing, and when you look in the present you get another.

When you look at one country you get one set of morals, which are not necessarily the same as another.

Call it right or wrong, but whatever you call it, rest assured it will change given time.....maybe :)

Nice post -- gets the mind thinking! :-) I didn't vote, though, since I theorize that my morals exist based on all the choices and then about a million more undefined items.
