All of which seems to point to the conclusion that there aren't, in fact, universal moral standards - you and many others think there are, but that is just a delusion. (In much the same way, basically, everyone here thinks that their position in any given argument is right and others only disagree because they don't fully understand it yet, but over time all sensible people will wake up and more or less agree.)

The idea that there is an objective universal truth to "morality" or whatever may be just a rationalization for feeling so strongly about something that you want to force everyone else to the same position. I think the problem you've discovered is that you have realized this is BS, but can't stomach the idea that something you feel so strongly about isn't, in fact, some great truth with an existence beyond yourself and your feelings.

So you don't care that there is Slavery in Sudan? And you think my naivete leads me to care?
