Morality proceeds solely from society.Precisely what you folks think. The ultimate liberal philosophy. Everything is OK if we say it is. We define right and wrong and therefore it is what we say it is. And we can change it anytime the wind blows.
That is how we got baby murder in this country. That is how we got slavery. That is how we get wealth redistribution.

That's not a very good example, since the only FReeper I've seen defend slavery was a creationist, who defended it based on the Bible....

Sounds like you're attacking it simply because you don't like the perceived consequences. Do you have any real arguments against it, or just more appeal to consequences fallacy?
