Read 1 Corinthians 13 and see what you make of it.

Just because we can't be sure all the time there is some stuff we can be pretty sure about. And that is important. Torturing innocent people slowly to death is wrong. We can pretty sure of that. What is important is that we acknowledge that slowly torturing innocent people to death is wrong and since morality is universal we should try and stop any such activity from occurring anywhere in the world.
Without the acceptance that morality is universal, then how can we go about promoting justice?
