[quote=@Legend] Technically it's binary and objective. If we assume morals to be legitimate and to exist, then one is to always respect his parents. If morals do not exist then one never technically "should" respect them; it would just be something he could do if he so chose. [/quote] No? Even if we assume that morals do exist, "always respect your parents" wouldn't be one. "Respect your parents so long as they remain worthy of respect" could be, but that's why it's highly relative. Not all parents deserve respect and some deserve it more than others.
