I believe that men wrote every "holy book" and came up with every dogma and philosophy - I do not believe that morality is handed down by a flaming whirlwind. Therefore I agree pretty much with the Judeo-Christian principles of the Ten Commandments and The Golden Rule. There is no contradiction there - I believe men came up with those things and I happen to agree with them.

"I believe men came up with those things and I happen to agree with them"

Then you would say that those who defy such "things" are not actually "wrong" or "evil", but merely in disagreement with you. If men made it up, other men should be free to ignore it. Someone else might believe that lying is good, rape is virtuous, and stealing is honest?

I'm curious about your view here ... is anything wrong or evil, or is it really up to us to toss a coin and decide? If you come to the conclusion that there are absolutes, where did they come from, and how did we find them?
