Subjective Morality Always Fails
Criminals pray for a universe where they can make up the rules. After all, if morality is up to the individual, who is to say that what they do is wrong? Furthermore, who is to say that a society is wrong if they have all agreed upon something?
This is why slavery was a massive problem. When a society turns away from a standard of right and wrong, you will have a nation that dehumanizes anyone who’s skin color isn’t white for their selfish gain. Thank God for Christian abolitionists that stood up to the law makers and plantation owners in order to put an end to the evil that was taking place.
