All Morality is Relative

Since this is only a two round debate, and since I go last, Pro will not have an opportunity to defend his original argument against my rebuttal, so it's not really fair for me to use this space to defend my original argument against his rebuttal. So this round will be a rebuttal of his original argument in the last round.Pro only gave one argument for his denial of moral objectivism. It can be summarized in a syllogism like so:1. If there were moral facts, then there would be no moral disagreement.2. There is moral disagreement.3. Therefore, there are no moral facts.I'm going to go ahead and concede the second premise and just take issue with the first premise.Pro is confused about the nature of subjective statements and objective statements. Take at look at these various claims he makes:"For not everyone thinks the same way, not everyone has the same morals. Therefore, there is no such thing as objective morality.""Though I, and I assume my opponent as well, thinks the Holocaust was wrong, it was technically not because not everyone thought it was wrong.""What my opponent finds moral may not be what George Washington found moral. Because of this, morality is not a fact.""If every human being on Earth thought it [Biblical morality] was a fact, it would be. An opinion can only become fact if every person has the same opinion."Basically, he thinks that if everybody has the same opinion about something, it becomes a fact. But if not everybody has the same opinion about something, then it's not a fact. "Fact," in the context of all these statements means "objectively true."But this is just a misunderstanding of the objective/subjective dichotomy. Whether a statement is objective or subjective has nothing to do with whether everybody agrees with it or not. Rather, it has to do with what makes the statement true or false. If a statement is subjective, then the subject makes the statement true or false. If the statement is objective, then the object makes the statement true or false.I'll give some examples. Here's a subjective statement:Pizza tastes good.What determines whether this statement is true or false is the subject making the claim. If the subject likes the way pizza tastes, then pizza tastes good to that subject, even though it may taste bad to somebody else. Whether pizza tastes good or not depends entirely on what people believe and prefer, and it differs from individual to individual. Some like it, and some don't, so it tastes good to some and not to others.Here's an objective statement:The earth is round.What determines whether this statement is true or false is the object--the earth. If the earth is, in fact, round, then the statement is true, and if the earth is, in fact, a cube, then the statement is false. Even if everybody thought the earth was a cube, it would still be round. The shape of the earth does not depend on what anybody believes about it. That's what makes the statement objective. Notice that objective statements can be false. The claim that "The earth is a cube" is an objective statement even though it's false. What makes it an objective statement is that whether it's true or false has to do with the shape of the earth and not with anybody's belief about the shape of the earth.With these explanations in mind, it should be obvious what the problem is with Pro's argument. Universal consensus cannot make a subjective statement objective, and disagreement cannot make an objective statement subjective. Consensus or lack of consensus has absolutely nothing to do with whether a claim is objective or subjective.Pro's first premise is false. If there are objective morals, that would not necessarily entail that everybody agreed with them. After all, people can have their facts wrong.If you think about it, Pro's argument undermines his whole point of view. He and I disagree on the question of whether there are any objective moral values. Pro believes "There are objective morals" is false, and I believe it is true. By Pro's reasoning, the claim that "There are no objective morals" is not a fact since he and I disagree about it. By his reasoning, that means his point of view is just his subjective opinion, like his taste in pizza.So pro's position in this debate is self-refuting. By arguing with me, he assumes that one of us is right and the other is wrong. But by his reasoning, his point of view is right for him and wrong for me. There's no fact to the matter.But the fact that he's arguing with me shows that he thinks he's right and I'm wrong, which means there is a fact to the matter. If there is a fact to the matter even though he and I disagree, then obviously universal agreement is not necessary for a statement to be a fact. So his first premise is false. That means his argument is unsound.Thank you for coming to tonight's debate.
