I had an argument with a Christian recently who accused me of having “no moral basis“ because I said I believed that morality was subjective.

He argued that morality was objective (given to us by God), and that there is a universal standard of right and wrong, that doesn’t change. Right is always right, and wrong is always wrong.

I told him that everyone decides on their own what they believe to be moral or immoral based on their values. What’s wrong to me may not be wrong to you. He then proceeded to tell me that he was disgusted with my lack of moral center and then decided to block me (which I thought was sad, but not terribly unexpected).

Anyway, wdo do you guys think?

Morality is subjective that is indisputable, the way to prove this is ask for a simple objective moral rule.

One thing though, people do not decide on their own, morality is not (often ) personally subjective it is usually agreed upon within a cultural setting, and oftentimes indoctrinated into 99% of people, a good example of this is the historical acceptance of slavery.
