Wouldn't a truth then, be subjective to the time and place and society it was self-evident in? There have been times and peoples that condoned human scrifice...I imagine to them, this was a self-evident truth...not today though. How can this be an absolute? Our country legalises abortion..is this murder a self-evident truth? Why is it OK to steal to keep your family alive, but not for personal gain?

These are just a few examples. I believe these things are relative, not absolute.

"Wouldn't a truth then, be subjective to the time and place and society it was self-evident in?"

So, like the Clintons and the rest of the DemocRAT mentalities, you, too, probably believe that the Constitution is a "living document" subject to change on the whims of the pop-culture/society?

What is a moral relativist such as yourself doing on a forum whose sole founding principle for being is to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America?

You previously wrote this in #71: "I do not believe that a belief is an absolute."

That is quite the laughable statement since it proves that either you are incapable of comprehending that you have just stated polar opposite ideas in one short sentence as a absolute, or you are a totally incompetent, unserious person looking for attention.

It appears as if you are suffering from what is known as "cognitive dissonance" which is the mental confusion that is the result of holding polar opposite beliefs and ideas at the same time. Seek treatment.

I don't ride in the boats of one-armed boat-rowers more than two or three laps. I'm hopping out of your boat NOW!
