And to be very clear, ethical principles are subjective. There is no objectively right or wrong thing as far nature is concerned.

Deonotlogists and other Moral Realists and Universalists are shook

Is "The only objective moral fact is that there is no objective morality" a truthful statement? Is it rational?
