Common now…Isn’t it pretty obvious that will have unanimous agreement among sensible human beings that it is a bad “idea?” If so, it is an absolute. How can there be agreement when, given the same facts of a situation, different answers emerge? So we have moral ideals and applications of morality. But different people DON'T have the same moral ideals. Clearly the morals of a pacifist and a mercenary are quite different. Let me ask again: What are these "absolute morals" you speak of? How does one recognize them? How do you distinguish them from parental and societal training? You have top do that; different parents and societies teach different things; if there is a single absolute moral code, they can't all be right.
