What I mean by absolute wrong is a wrong that would be considered wrong in any normal human beings moral code. By "normal human being" I simply mean someone who is not mentally disturbed, intellectually incapable of reasoning, that sort of thing. I don't mean "anyone who is different to me isn't normal" or anything like that.
Here would be an example.....
Not sure if any of you are familiar with the town of Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia. In 1996, a man by the name of Matin Bryant walked into town with two automatic assault rifle and a load of ammunition. He proceeded to open fire on the citizenry, killing 35 and injuring 21. To this day, if I'm not mistaken, it is still the record for the most dead in a single mass shooting type incident. No reason, no motive that has ever been established.
Now, if you can show me any moral code that can somehow make that not a "wrong" act, then I would argue it is not a moral code at all but the delusions of an idiot mind at work.
