Objective Morality

[FinalEnigma]

Let us assume for debate that morality is objective. For example, that it is wrong to kill except in self defense or defense of another. Are there any constraints upon this?

assuming that killing is wrong by objective morality, for each question: A) are YOU wrong for doing it under the following circumstances? B) can/should you be held responsible?

1) What if you don't know it's wrong, and you kill? (Ex. you are trained from birth in isolation to be an assassin, and taught that it is good to kill people, and never given any indication that it is wrong)

2) What if you had no reason to assume that your actions had any connection with killing? (Ex. You are cooking for a guest, and you are given an incorrect list of allergies, so you unintentionally include an ingredient that kills the victim)

3)What if you thought you were committing fake murder, but it was really real murder? (Ex. your fake knife prop was replaced with a real one without your knowledge)

4) what if you thought you were killing fake people? (Ex. You are using a 'training simulator' and screwing around and crash a plane for the hell of it, but you were actually remotely controlling a real plane and didn't know it)

1) I view it as a forgivable wrong. The person is basically brainwashed, but I believe there is still a sense of right and wrong in them, and they are choosing to do the wrong over the right. But only because it has been so heavily ingrained in them. Still, they can be blamed because there is something in them that should allow them to know better.

2) Not wrong at all.

3) Not wrong at all.

4) Not wrong at all.
