10. there are no moral absolutes |

morals by definition are personally held beliefs, perhaps fostered by a community like a church, but morality shouldn't be held up to the universality test. What you are debating is normative ethics, meaning what is the justifiable basis for moral judgments and can these morals be held as universals? Whether or not there are universal human rights such as food, shelter, rudimentary health care and education, etc. is an example of an ethical debate, whereas many of us morally support these rights.
