Relative to whatever this or that person or group of people happen to feel about a topic.

There's no such thing as a solid concrete morality as if bestowed upon us by God. That would make things a lot easier.

But without being able to be lazy and just say "cuz God said so" how can we know what is moral and good and what isn't?
