This is a copy and paste argument I posted in another debate, that as I was typing made me think of this debate, so if you see this somewhere else, this is why

There is always something I wondered about people who believe in moral objectivity. What does it mean for something to be morally objective? What makes something objectively right, if right and wrong is what is BAD and what is GOOD, that sounds inherently subjective to me... I can't even imaginably comprehend what it would mean for something to be objectively right or objectively wrong, I can't imagine that... it's like trying to imagine a square circle... Morality is inherently subjective, the same way a circle is inherently round, to talk about objective morality sounds like someone talking about a square circle to me. What makes something objectively moral? You could just have a different definition of morality than me, but if that is the case, maybe I don't care to be "moral" by your definition?

Than do you believe in relative morality ?

I believe there are two different kinds of relativity (laymans meaning of relativity), there is subjective relativity (blue is more appealing than green which is more appealing than red) and objective relativity (3 is bigger than 2 which is bigger than 1). So technically yes, but not as an alternative to subjective morality. I believe morality can be BOTH subjective and relative.
