>>If God does not exist then no absolute standard for morality is possible.<< Granted. >>Further; If no absolute standard for morality can be arrived at then the use of such moral terms as right and wrong are rendered meaningless, outside of mutual agreement.<< There is no absolute standard for which side of the street you should drive on, yet the use of terms and phrases such as "should drive on the right" or "should drive on the left" are NOT meaningless outside of mutual agreement. Being a motorist in the US, I "should drive on the right" regardless of whether I agree to it or not. Likewise, terms such as "right" and "wrong" apply in a conventional sense to all humans, regardless of whether they agree to it, and based on their common values and interdependence. Yet, there is no "absolute" standard for morality.
