"Justice is nothing but the advantage of another"
Literally prove him wrong.

>God is the ultimate moral good in himself
>Why? Because he will FUCKING SMITE YOUR ASS
>The king/goverment is the ultimate moral arbiter of justice
>Why? Because he will put your bitch ass to DEATH
>Virtues and morals are often whatever the ruling class decides to educate their population as good
>Trying to say that there exists universal morals and justice essentially requires you to point back on whatever notions of justice/ethics were set in place by a ruling body as fair and just
>There is no justice without violence

>inb4 rulers can make unadvantageous laws
