The problem here is that most people who hold this position do not call themselves relativists. It is almost more of a pejorative term than a position. "Ethical subjectivist" is the closest thing you'll ever meet in real life and they generally aren't interested in logic so you can't debate them.

Hmm very good however an important point was missed. What does the professor mean at 0:20 by saying that objective morality causes guilt and shame and is therefore "wrong"? What does the use of the word "wrong" mean in this context? He cannot mean factually wrong. "Wrong" according to what system of values?

By saying "morality" is "wrong" he is contradicting himself

@MrBenMcLean True; I had that in there intentionally. :) I only had a limited time frame for the video so I couldn't dive into every aspect that I wanted to, for instance, the backdrop for morality without God.

@EhJayJC Well, if you can believe in the existence of God's creation without believing in the existence of God and if moral values are a creation of God then you can believe in morality without believing in the existence of God. You just can't explain the validity of these morals but you can believe they are there; floating unexplained just as you cannot explain the existence of the Universe itself without a first cause. This is how we find perfectly good moral principles among many agnostics

@MrBenMcLean True enough; haha, I don't think that uncomfortable truth will go over in my class too much. We're just starting ethics now. :P
