So if a group agrees and they all act the same it is quite moral....to them. 1 - How is this relevant to our conversation at all? If morality is relative then the non theocratic statements in the ten commandments would still be just what I called them "moral beliefs that involve a religious perspective on how to deal with people" 2- If you want to start a whole new conversation I disagree with the idea that morality is only what the prevailing view of society. Osama bin Laden apparently thinks it is moral to fly airplanes in to office buildings. I suppose if you define his community broadly they would not think it is moral but define it narrowly and I think you would find that his community supports him. I would say simply that his community is wrong. I've been around and around again with a number of people on the topic of absolute vs. relative morality so I am not actually itching to have another long conversation about it right now, but suffice it to say that I disagree with you if you think all of morality amounts to simply society's current opinions or norms.
