I know there are people who believe that morality is objective, but the evidence points towards the contrary. Morality is subjective.

I think there's two levels to consider here. Morality is subjective in the sense that every individual might have a different conception of what morality is, which gets debated ad infinitum. However, there are systems, such as moral absolutism, which paint very black and white pictures. In those systems, morality isn't considered to be based on perspective or relative to the person.

Moral absolutism is a hoax and doesn't exist. I know some people believe it does exist, but I think it doesn't. Morality depends on the consequences or the context of the act and there is no such thing as absolute good or absolute evil.

That's convenient because you can just say hey, that's your opinon of morale. Raped someone and think it is morally acceptable? Well since morals are subjective it may be for some people.

The point is there is so many things and factors in each situation to consider for proper moral decision.
Absolute good deeds, Individual and social good acts, Political Honor, the war situation, Good or Evil Government, benefit and etc. . It is so complex .. anarchists, gray-moral followers and evil persons tend to abuse this complexity and say that Morality is subjective and do everything they want.

There is different levels of morality: From saints and very good people, above and below average to very evil people and devils.

In other hand It's also about the scientists who want to enhance their overrated science as master of everything: Only our great science is Objective; Everything else is subjective and therefore Bs.

Morality is objective. Good and Evil is the same thing as Right and Wrong and some things are more right than others, but often we disagree on what is good and evil. Just because we think something is right doesn't mean it is but there is always something is right.
My opinion is that good actions are beneficial and evil actions are detrimental (which may seem obvious) to the universe and therefore to humanity which usually means to me and you. You could also say that good actions are beneficial and evil actions are detrimental to yourself but then morality would be subjective.
To say that all actions are equally moral or subjectively moral are very dangerous for obvius reasons.

To be "Absolutist" regarding science is also dangerous, with all this talk about science being the porsuit of "objective knowledge" and whatever, albeit it is far less dangerous (like a thousand times less dangerous) than all this talk about absolute morality.
You people need to get up to speed to current knowledge about the state of affairs that mankind is into, hell it's not as if you lot aren't like two hundred years late to the party or anything...

@LuC0s: I play "Dark Heresy" - though I also own the Rogue Trader and Deathwatch books.
Dark Heresy is about the Imperial Inquisition.
At any rate - I actually disagree with your assessment of the "Angel of Mercy" - in Warhammer 40K, the bad guys ARE going to win... what the 40K universe is about is stretching failure on indefinitely.
The Angel of Mercy WOULD try to save them... but in the end, I think the only difference between a "Paragon" space marine and a "Renegade" space marine would be how they felt after they burned down the village.
Saving them... is the path to Chaos. Sympathizing with the enemy... is subversive to the soul (the soul is a scientific fact in the Warhammer 40K universe).
====
At any rate - it is "Renegade" acts that have landed 40K in the place it is. The Chaos gods feed off base emotions.
The Imperium empowers the Chaos gods far more than it defeats them.
The Eldar know this - that's why their race is polarized (they practice self-control/the Dark Eldar give in to passions). They've been trying to get through to humanity in the 40K universe for eons... but the Imperium won't hear it.
====
At any rate - the 40K universe is the defiance against insurmountable odds.... I sincerely have NEVER felt that way in Mass Effect. I have only felt that people on the boards have blown the Reapers way out of proportion until they have become their own uber-evil.
Uber-evils are literary contrivances to take morality out of the equation. They're sloppy... and I despise the Reaper's role in ME (even with how all encompassing it is).
In something like 40K - uber-evils are just a backdrop. "You're going to lose - but, you can lose on your own terms. Do you give in to the inevitability of the Chaos gods... or do you rage against the dying of the light?"
====
Well - I'm not familiar with Deathwatch's rules as much... but in Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader there is Insanity and Corruption.
Corruption would actually be the small things... like hitting reporters, kicking people out windows, etc.
While insanity would be the big things... like blowing up the DA.
Of course - they would provide minor hits of the other. ((Blowing up the DA would provide "some" Corruption))
Corruption in 40K is about the slow subversion of the human will - "slouching toward Bethlehem" as it were - and, if the DM does it right - you won't even know you're worshiping the Chaos gods until it's WAY too late.
Insanity is as much about mental damage - as it is about realizing damaging truths about the universe (especially the 40K universe)
====
I simply do not feel that ME has these qualities... at all.
To me... ME has always been just a heroic space opera where the good guy was destined to win from day one.
It likely doesn't matter to you at all.... but in 40K I am an entirely different mentality than my real life mentality (which I use to make the Mass Effect decisions).
