MODERATORS
I believe the only objective morality is that you must act without intent to harm others unless it is in self-defense.
Is he saying the first point is wrong or just that it conflicts with the second?

Everything in moderating or something. I'm not an ear doctor
For the people not getting it:
-
They treat morals as opinions.
-
They also treat their personal opinions like they're the absolute best opinion.
Another way:
They think everyone likes different ice cream flavors and that's fine. They like Rocky Road flavor. They also think anyone who doesn't is a monster.
Convictions are one thing. But they need to be logically consistent. Saying morality is subjective but you're evil if you don't subscribe to my personal version is illogical.

Now that is funny. Its funny because its true.
Subjective morality is self evidently true, but that gives us no information about how to live our lives, so we must live as if absolute morality is true.
We only have our own perspective. Someone else's subjective morality is meaningless to us, we aren't them.
