. . . and of course I, as an Eastern Orthodox Christian, need *you* to tell me what “transcendent morality” is. For some of my family members that means:
no beer
no bikinis
no rock music
no dancing . . .
NO THANKS.
I’ll take the freedom to choose my own religion and will ask the state (and you, by the way) to stay out of defining “transcendent morality.”
Now, you may proceed to claim that I think murder is okay, that I’m a stoner (I’ve never even touched the crap), or some other bull crap that says nothing about what I really believe.
I didn't say anything about religion. But if your nominally transcendent morality doesn't extend beyond YOU, then it's neither transcendent nor absolute, which makes it simply moral relativism, and argues my assertion.
