Is your assessment about the subjectivity of good and evil objective?

"There is no such thing as right or wrong." [ ] Right [ ] Wrong

You're conflating the rather abstract and arguably subjective moral concepts of "right" and "wrong" with "true" and "false."

Hah, this made me laugh and think for a moment. Personally, I'm not sure that right and wrong are subjective, but I'm also quite careful about saying there's an objective right and wrong. Objective right and wrong can certainly lead away from "live and let live", and who arbitrates this objective morality when people disagree?

So, funny phrasing and thought provoking way of putting it. After some reflection, I think I'd press you to define right and wrong before answering if you hit me up with that.
