Caprica
Season 1.5
Universal
The Soldiers of the One base their sense of moral superiority over the polytheists on the grounds that their ‘one true god’ gives them a unified, unchanging standard of right and wrong; but this is a purely subjective morality. If this single source decides that killing tens of thousands of innocent people is justified to further its cause, then such an act would become ‘moral’ by that standard. A democratized standard of morality, by contrast, would tend to favor the common good. While individuals would still drift, have emotions, or change their opinions; such changes would not cause radical changes to the moral contract, as they would be offset by the principals of the population as a whole.
