These are ways in which actions are rationalized to seemingly lessen their evil
None of these rationalizations can change the nature of evil actions
Moral Objectivity

![Page 8: { Action Morality and Human Acts. Human acts are done with intellect, will, knowledge and consent Human Acts](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102718/56649edc5503460f94becb13/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The belief that morality can change with each set of circumstances
States that an action is good or evil in a particular circumstance or for a particular person
This is sometimes called Situation Ethics
Moral Relativism
PROBLEMS
![Page 9: { Action Morality and Human Acts. Human acts are done with intellect, will, knowledge and consent Human Acts](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102718/56649edc5503460f94becb13/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Determines good or evil from the consequences that follow an act
Consequentialism
PROBLEMS
![Page 10: { Action Morality and Human Acts. Human acts are done with intellect, will, knowledge and consent Human Acts](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102718/56649edc5503460f94becb13/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

PROBLEMS

Historically, people try to legitimize moral objectivity
They state that an act is evil or good by nature, and cannot be changed in nature by circumstances, but what will change is the degree of evil or good of the act
Arguing for objectivity
PROBLEMS

God is truth God has revealed his will to his
people Jesus has clarified and
simplified what it means to be a Christian with moral principles
No amount of objectivity can change the truth
Morality is based on Truth
