The
idea that
morals are
fixed, and that actions can be inherently
good or
bad, regardless of their
consequences.
Often goes hand in hand with religion, as people usually believe the objective morality to be handed down by a god or gods, for us to simply follow. There are nonbelievers who do follow this, however.
But this does warrant the question - if a god made the moral decree, aren't they then relative for it?
