Good god, why haven't we discussed this before?

Ah so you only abide by the golden rule when it suits you.

I don't know what you mean by "moral absolute".

Neither do I.
Why do you?

I don't. Why do you care about other's morality?

After all, there is nothing that all believe to be immoral. Immorality is an opinion according to you. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and all opnions are equally valid.

Do you always abide by the golden rule or only when it suits you?

When it suits me.
Which is probably always.

Why should I worry about the Golden Rule anyway?

Do you mean about morality or how you view it?

Uhm maybe because you said that your morality is based upon the Golden Rule as much of society's is?

Quite obviously it's only based upon your personal preferences. Since you don't regard the Golden rule as an absolute why would you follow it if you happen to have another preference?

My morality is based upon the Golden Rule.
I adhere to my own morals.
How difficult is that for you to understand?

You base your morality on some flavour of
Christianity and spin it to fit your preferences.

Your morality is based on the rejection of God.
