Morality

In the discussion of morality, it is inevitable that one would hear "this works for you, but not for me."  That is only indicative of the fact that people have different perceptions. 

As C.S. Lewis asserted, the fact that someone believes something is moral or not means they have to have something as their moral compass.  It may or may not be based in truth.

Moral law, as with any other universal law, cannot change based upon individual preferences.

Something is or is not moral.  Our perceptions of morality are irrelevant when we look at what it is or is not. Individuals change, morality doesn't.
