What "decision"? Either it is objectively wrong, or it is not. The decision is my act of judging it wrong. If I think it's wrong, then it's wrong for me. If you and I and everyone else judge it wrong, then we have a consensus--society judges it wrong. In the case of the Holocaust, there's a clear consensus. If a deity declares it wrong, then it's wrong for that deity and all his/her/its followers. It is not wrong for anyone else unless they or their deity declare it wrong. I, personally, cannot imagine anything "wronger" than the Holocaust. Let me try an analogy. An authoritarian set of morals is like socialism. Some central authority makes the rules and runs things. We're all richer if people make their own informed moral choices in the moral marketplace. Karen
