I stated that 'morality' is subjective in that it individually deals with each person's own 'moral' code of right and wrong.

No you did not, you said this:

Morality is shades of gray.

Morality is rooted entirely in the presupposition some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior.

Plato’s Euthyphro is a great illustration. Socrates advances the argument to Euthyphro that, piety to the gods, who all want conflicting devotions and/or actions from humans, is impossible. (Socrates exposed the pagan esoteric sophistry.)

Likewise, morals are such a construction of idols used by the Left as a rationale for them to demand compliance to their wishes in politics, which most often are a skewed mess of fallacies in logic. Morals are a deceptive replacement for the avoidance of sin.

Like the pagan pantheons of gods, individual interpretations of “morality” are just as illogical and meaningless.

Actually, in my post 139 I also stated: "Morality is a subjective concept that has been argued over since the dawn of humanity, on the other hand logic in 'cause and effect' is as hard as concrete."

You cannot even keep your attacks straight.

I guess you cannot accept the true meaning of the word "monogamous".
