I disagree, Our belief in naturalism or theism is the cornerstone to our world view. Why would anyone who doesn't believe in a transcendent God who designed us for a purpose, believe in universal morality? Thus, moral relativism is the direct result of a naturalistic world view. We theists believe that their are universal laws and a power that created us for a purpose. These universal laws are both physical and moral. While everyone understand the severity of not following the phyical (gravity-if you jump off of a 10 story building you will perish), many do not see the importance of folling the moral laws (there are consequences to extra-marrital affairs...pain, broken marriage, STD's). Naturalists (moral relativists) do not understand how the system works and that a Creator made the system and created the laws so that the wise who heed them would be as free from pain as possible.

Not if you jump into the swimming pool, or attach yourself to a hang-glider.

By the way, have you read the stories about all the cats that survive those jumps.

I think this guy was heard saying shortly after, "Thank God I was jumping from 3500 feet and not 10 stories".

Man survives 3,500ft fall

A British skydiver has survived a 3,500ft fall after his parachute failed to open.
