Ah.... so YOU are the standard, the last word on universal right and wrong? Or do you mean each individual sets his/her own standard? If the latter, what makes Sadam a demon dictator and you a patriot saint? You see, by your argument you are either a solipsist or complete moral relativist. Both of these lead to utter chaos.

Ah....I see because I don't believe the way you do...I'm whatever you say. I do set the standards for myself. Society sets standards as well, mostly those don't meet my standards,mine are higher. I've always based my attitude, actions and standards on whether or not they would make my mother proud.
What makes Sadamm a demon dictator?? That's a pretty stupid question, his record that's what!! I'm not a saint, don't think I ever claimed to be. Got anymore?? I mean you can do better can't you??

Ga Rob did not say he set the standard, you did. Ga Rob said he knows right from wrong, there is a difference. Perhaps being a human being created by God is the inherent standard for knowing right from wrong, and religious thinking manipulates this standard. What seems to be morally right for a Muslim could be seen as wrong for a Christian. A pagan or atheist is as capable of knowing right from wrong, as anyone is.
