How do you KNOW whether your opinion is correct or incorrect? You don't know for certain, just as you don't know if your opinions about any number of things are correct or incorrect. But if objective morality exists, "correct" and "incorrect" have meaning when we are discussing ethics. If morality is in no way objective then the very idea of correct and incorrect makes no sense when discussing morals. I think you have to wrestle with these problems: Why? Those are questions about specific ideas of what actions are correct or incorrect. We have not even established to everyone's satisfaction that the very idea of correct and incorrect has any meaning in this context. Tim
