An important thing to remember is whether or not one believes in objective value. In other words, is there a real right and wrong. Is there more to this universe than causality. Usually this view is also the theistic one, but doesn't necessarily have to be. If there is this "objective value" if there is a "right and wrong" then it just comes down to the best thinkers proving things one way or another based off of ethics derived from those values...
If there isn't a right and wrong though, well, then, there's no use even talking about it. It's personal perception and nothing more. That means that most controversies, even the things you and I believe in most deeply and passionately, are meaningless.
So you have a choice, accept that values exist, and then realize that how you live your life and what you believe has some merit and value (and I would say, infinite merit and value) or, suffocate in subjectivity.
