I meant by the above that those of us who take the principle of
non-contradiction seriously will not agree with you in saying that
'...both "good and bad are entirely subjective" AND "Objective values of
good and bad exist, based on valuing of human life and happiness."' I'd
jump on board with you in saying that it doesn't *matter* which it turns
out to be, but not both.
I'll even go as far as to say that you SHOULD take the principle of
non-contradiction seriously, though, if you don't believe me, I can't give
you a very convincing account of why that is.
