I was talking to my friends about objective moral law. I wasn't quite sure about it and I don't think that it is a good idea as morals will change between cultures and even individuals. It would be too hard to define what is actually right and wrong. What do you think about it? Also are laws moral just because they are made by society who considers itself moral?

The morals of a society change, but that doesn't mean morality itself changes. For example murder is always wrong; regardless of where you live and even If a society embraces genocide, that doesn't make genocide right. I think that morality transcends cultures and individuals and I can't think of any culture that doesn't honor honesty, fairness, bravery, integrity, justice etc. so, I believe that laws are moral.
