"So we're into matters that are total speculation?" Not at all. I have asked you to consider whether or not you would find universal agreement among sensible human beings that "The unjust killing of an innocent person with malfeasance" (murder) is a bad thing. You might find a few intelligent persons to give you some twisted scenario (not a commonly sensible one) but they would have to apply that rule to some circumstance to do that. All circumstance, which can never be viewed universally by humans, is subject to opinion and rightfully so. So, we can rule out this kind of exceptional case. That makes our moral (murder) absolute. You have a universal bad (moral) that all can agree on. You stop the discussion at that point because you might loose your alliance with someone like solon? Or you fear something religious is going to be associated with the logical conclusions? Or that religious agendas are gonna getcha? That's silly.
