Relativism is a quick 2+2= 4 formula. It is pseudo-science. Pagan witches made the same type of illogical equivalence between the stars and events and thus characters. It is also a very convenient way to privilege yourself, so that equality rules. Equality is evil, it makes people fight for their privileges against the rights of others.

I have a comment and a question. First, I don't think equality is evil, but I do think it is unnatural and counterproductive for our species.

Nature will not allow us to ever ever create a society in which equality is possible simply because nature (of which we are a part) does not create all of us equally . thank God.

The reason I say equality is not not necessarily evil is because in terms of opportunity, it is a positive thing. A society can, in fact, strive to give each individual sufficient opportunity to take advantage of and develop the skills with which he/she was blessed. To do otherwise is to waste potential. To try and make those who are less talented equal to those who are more talented is a wate of time and resources.

Now my question. The author seems fairly self-assured about the uniqueness of Christianity. Although I do not dispute his claim in terms of comparison to other major religions, I am forced to wonder if he is a scholar with adequate credentials to make such a bold claim. In fact, there may be / have been other lesser known religions with similar qualities. I am not a religious scholar either, so I don't know.
