Source for moral details
Shalom Rabbi Michi
The rabbi argued that morality stems from an intuition we have.
A. How can one make claims against a person or group whose intuition really says otherwise (let alone one who claims that it is moral to murder infidels, enemies, and those who disagree with them)?
B. If we say that this is according to the majority, what will we do if the majority claims that a certain act is not morally flawed (for example, a late-term abortion or sex reassignment surgery for the better) and we, in the minority, disagree, will we say that morality has changed?
I strive to say that morality can only be defined by God and the details were given to us in the Torah through non-religious commandments – for example, the story of Onan even before the giving of the Torah, which teaches about the moral flaw in this. About the saying in Mishli – “Go to the lazy ant …” which teaches that idleness is a moral flaw.

So what is your way of resolving moral disputes?
I don't have a general answer to this. But why is it important to our discussion?
In the end, you accept that there is a way to decide halachic questions from the Torah – every branch of halachic ruling in general. Of course, there are disputes, but there are principles for how to decide, especially for those who do not have time to delve into every issue themselves – for example, a rabbi or a prominent rabbi or a poske whose father used to follow …
Why is there no point in trying to rule from the Torah in morality and other issues in your opinion? It is clear that there is less meat to discuss there, but it is still what there is and a decision must be reached somehow.
Sorry for the delay
