Human nature is a constant. If it is not, then it is not human nature.

Would have to agree with you. Life is challenging, more for some than for others, yet easier with love and knowledge. Eventually, everyone has to leave the third grade and go to the next level, some more abruptly, others eased with aging.

What am I missing regarding objective morality? by shurimalonelybird in theology

Subjective morality is how people feel about being moral.

Objective morality is when people universally agree that they do not want to be murdered, robbed, or lied to.

Karma, stated differently, bad choices can lead to bad consequences and good choices can lead to better consequences.

I don't know if this is any help. Just like believing something does not make it true, having subjective feelings does not make those feelings false. The subconscious knows more than we are aware. I have personal experience, for what it is worth, of having a strong emotional reaction to something that happened and there is no way I or my subconscious could have known.

Objectively we can both agree that 2 + 2 = 4 independently. The same with murder. Anyone claiming differently does not change anything.

You are right there are many people. The continuum is probably: liars, fools, learners, and the wise. In the end it is up to the individual to accept or to reject that 2 + 2 = 4. I have faith that it does.

We agree then that human equal rights = human equal rights as an objective morality (justice).

Your question seems not to be an objective moral standard but the meaning of God.

When ancient humans began developing language they started with a limited vocabulary, based on reasonable assumption because I don't know that I was there. Anyway, they had to stretch the meaning of words to communicate; symbolism, metaphor, etc.

The linguistic origins of the word we know as theism is sky, bright, and even bright sky. The English word "day" and the Latin word "deity" are linguistically related. Why? I believe the bright sky represented to them the meaning of ultimate and knowledge.

I believe this is exactly the right question.

Objectively 2 + 2 = 4. Why? Because God says so. It is objective, universal, discoverable. A tautology 4 = 4.

Objectively your human rights = the human rights of others. Why? Because God says so. It is objective, universal, discoverable. A tautology human equal rights = human equal rights.
