I don't agree that we are all deciding for ourselves. Many here and in our society at large are religious, and believe that it is God who dictates what is right and wrong.
My point was that the opinion leaders in our society have reached consensus that there are no absolute values, or IOW that each person must decide for himself what is right and wrong.
Some, such as you and me, reject this idea, but we are swimming against a very powerful current running in the other direction.
What is fascinating is that nobody really believes the "everything is relative" garbage in practice. As can be seen by the denunciation of Rudolph and the utterly non-relative system of political correctness.
Almost without exception, what "everything is relative" really means is "everything sexual is relative." The proponents of this idea pick a single group of issues out of the mix and designate that group of issues as one on which discussion of right and wrong is out of bounds.
The classic example is the vapid statement, "You can't legislate morality." The fact, of course, is that we don't legislate anything else. What they really mean is, "You can't legislate sexual morality."
Why only one topic? Why that particular topic?
I think we all know the answer.
