the god's morals but it would not necessarily be universal agreement)

We would also like to know where and how this "god" obtained his
personal set of morals.
Sure, I tell you and everyone will know.

We all know you can't keep any secrets. 😠

If two people contradict each other on a moral issue, are they both right or is one of them wrong? Or is there another option?

Is the logical negation of “moral” “immoral,” or is it “not-moral.”

Is the logical negation of:

“it is morally obligatory to do X”,

“it is morally obligatory not to do X”

or is it

“it is not morally obligatory to do X”?

You see, if we are going to apply propositional logic to moral claims, there is some groundwork needed.

You really are a tedious little man aren't you?
The premise of this thread is
Objective morals do not exist

So why cannot you work out the answer to your own question?

The answer is up to you.

Expect that you should justify yourself.

Why are you afraid to give me a straight answer rather than beat about the bush?

It's not fear that stops people talking to you Becker.

One reason (among others) is that we (I, at least) do not want to give you misleading answers. But you ignore my attempts to delve deeper into the real issues you raise. Is that my fault? Or is genuine exploration of issues not your agenda? What IS your agenda? There’s nothing wrong with having one.

If you cannot deduce the answer from what I have previously
posted (and the thread title) then your comprehension is so
low that any short answer I give is almost certainly going to
confuse you. I do not have time to write a book for you and
second guess every moronic question you will ask arising
from my answers.

For that reason, I'm out.

As I see it an action can logically be moral, immoral or neither but it can't be both moral and immoral.
