There are several different uses of morality, each which result from different meta-concepts. An Aristotelean, for example, would talk about morality as fitting a human's purpose (as would a Christian), for example. Everybody uses the same word for several fundamentally different concepts, some of which have no or little basis in fact.

Literally true in isolation, but so completely irrelevant to this thread, I can only describe this comment as a lie.
