Is morality subjective or objective?

mpg said:
Maybe you're unfamiliar with the term "objective beauty". You can't just look up the definition of each of the two words and understand the phrase. If you didn't know the meaning of "time flies", you couldn't just look up the definition of each word and expect to understand the phrase. Objective beauty refers to the beauty that an object may or may not have when there is no beholder. Objective beauty does not refer to an objective way to measure beauty. Therefore, when someone says that objective beauty doesn't exist (you claimed it was a fact http://www.debatepolitics.com/philo...y-subjective-objective-38.html#post1064789852), they're saying that an unseen flower has no beauty, and you said that when someone comments on how much beauty a flower has, they're being subjective.

If you wanna debate something, both sides have to be debating the same thing. Objective morality is not about objectively deciding what is and isn't moral. That simply isn't what that term refers to.

Good. Now that everyone agrees that morality cannot be objectively decided, let's get to whatever it is that you're trying to explain about "objective morality". Even though it's not really the OP's question, I'm curious how "morality can objectively decided" and "objective morality" differ.
