I think the main problem with both of your arguments is that morality is a "construct", an abstract idea used define a set of actions as "right" or "wrong". For those of us that are religious, "right" would be doing what God wants us to do, and "wrong" would be disobeying God. In this case, God provides us with our definition of morality.
quote:
No. Right and wrong is decided individually. Social majority decides legality. More directly, the majority can decide how the society is governed, but nobody can make you believe that the majority is right about everything.
In this case, you're defining "right" and "wrong" in the sense of what the person him/herself defines as right or wrong; ie there is no "absolute" authority on morality. Ie, morality is relative, not absolute.
