043: Truth Decay pt 4 - Moral Relativism pt 2 - The rationale for moral relativism
Show Notes

The existence of moral truth seems so obvious that it may be difficult to comprehend why anyone would deny it in favor of moral relativism. I argue that there are at least four reasons people subscribe to moral relativism: (1) It seems to follow from atheism; (2) To justify one's sin; (3) The desire for moral neutrality and non-judgmentalism; (4) They think moral disagreements means there is no moral truth. I critique each of these reasons, and then explain why it is that humans disagree on moral matters.
