@frumnotyeshivish – I agree that as Orthodox Jews morality is and should be objective. However, the fact is that in general morals are relative. Being Jewish does gives you a certain standard and certain morals that others do not have or do not achieve. Morals are your “beliefs about what is right behavior and what is wrong behavior.” (according to Webster’s you quoted). Your morals are shaped by many variables thereby making different people with different morals. So I go back to say that morality in general (and I will clarify – not specifically for Orthodox Jews, IN GENERAL)is relative as it is shaped by many different personal factors.

And thanks for the explanation on how halacha=morality as your original post does make more sense to me now.
