In this case, the point made is a quibble, so I couldn't care less.

More accurately stated, the point made is in direct opposition to your contention that absolute morality depends on the Christian God.

Absolute morality depends on God. That Jesus is God is a belief I share with many others, but this morality certainly existed long before the birth of Christ -- something the Bible specifically declares.

What Christ does throught his death is redeem us before God.

Hahaha. Not hardly. All it proves is that some Christian ideas may predate Christianity. It says nothing about the source of moral absolutes.

As I have stated repeatedly, if moral absolutes do not come from God, then they MUST COME FROM MAN. If they come from man, they are relative to man. If they are relative to man, then they are mere preferences and have no universal or objective existence. Those are your only two choices - either morals are relative or they are from God. You must either choose one of these two or give me a third option. Choose. I'll wait for your answer.
