How do you feel about an objective moral compass?

Asked by cjunifer (30points) January 30th, 2010

Most people tend to think that there is some inherent set of morals that humans should abide by. While there are shades of gray, many believe that some actions, such as unprovoked murder, are definitively wrong. Religion and the legal system create subsets of a moral code, but my question is; “Is there really such thing as an objective view of right or wrong, or is it completely subjective, varying from person to person and culture to culture.” If you think there does exist a moral compass, where does it come from?
