Choices were made, disagreements will be had, but let's all remember that there is no wrong answer when it comes to America's favorite chocolate-flavored sugar products.

That sounds quite a lot like something my stats prof said a million years ago (and he was a “stats as math” type, not a “stats for social science applications” type).

The buffet approach is, no: I can adopt the morals of nonviolence from this Hindu moral authority, while leaving behind the moral imperatives I find repugnant.

Ex: the moral instructions of nonviolence within many Hindu/related traditions feel morally “right” to me. The moral instructions of organizing society around castes, I find personally repugnant. But must I adopt the moral principles of castes in order to adopt the principles of nonviolence?

But to circle back to the better question: there are portions of received moralities that are attractive, but portions that are not. The individual is not compelled to adopt a moral tradition as a whole.

Even distilled, abstract moral traditions find themselves grounded within the mores of the day at the time the distillation is done.

Even within the bounds of a moral “authority” one can find diametrically opposed outcomes: slavery and the death penalty are both morally “right” or “wrong” within the bounds of the Christian received “moral authority.” The positioning of each within that moral tradition has evolved over time.

Right, received morality (again, taking a large view here) has never condoned (encouraged, even) what we, now, would consider to be an atrocity.
