Good points, all.

[EternalVigilance]

Nicely done.

It should be pointed out that moral relativism is not confined solely to the fever swamps of the modern Democrat Party. This deadly disease has made deep inroads into the Republican Party as well, and is also publicly-manifesting daily in much of what passes for “the conservative movement.”

[IronJack]

Very well written. Marx was perhaps the most notorious of moral relativists, summing up his lust for power in the oft-repeated slogan “The end justifies the means.”

Ask people if they consider themselves to be a pragmatist. Then ask then if they know the content of that philosophy.

And what can restrain evil? God alone.

Right you are; thanks for the post.

As a reconstituted Catholic (returned after wandering in depravity for twenty-plus years), moral relativism can be seen in the actions of too many of the Church hierarchy. When such men and women abandon the core guide to faith, which is reason, the world suffers deeply. The current 'dialogue' with Islam is one such example of which I speak. Islam is the basest form of heresy, yet is no longer proclaimed as such, and opinions of people like myself are pitched into the pit with a sneer at our provincialism.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Nails it.

Well done!

[Popman]

Excellent bump...
