Not believing that my moral values are also objective truths works just fine:

  1. Works at what?

  2. That depends how hard you test it: Albert thinks Charlie has committed a heinous sin and should be severely punished, Brenda thinks Charlie has engaged in a harmless pecadillo and should be let go. What should happen to Charlie?

Works at what?

The same way morality works for everyone else. I'm not biting any bullets.

That depends how hard you test it: Albert thinks Charlie has committed a heinous sin and should be severely punished, Brenda thinks Charlie has engaged in a harmless pecadillo and should be let go. What should happen to Charlie?

Objectively; there is no fact of the matter. Subjectively; you haven't given me any details about what Charlie did.
