@aspvenom,
Getting back to the problem of compulsion to "convert".
If there was a strong reconciliation of consequentialism with some absolute morality, be it virtue ethics or any other.
I know that I would feel more confident in holding such a belief.
I feel in a way that now both sides are looking at the issue from two different, unjustified positions. Utilitarianism has a method with an arbitrary goal of value. Absolute morality starts with arbitrary goals and is tasked with reconciling how those goals should relate to each other.
If the two positions were reconciled upon value, then I would feel that that value is less arbitrary.
Justified by agreement from more than one "observer", if you'll pardon the analogy.
