...10 commandments - these are REAL moral absolutes... But you do not believe they are really absolute. Why should anyone else. Oh, I absolutely do... The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week. Do you remember Saturday to keep it holy? Or, do you worship on Sunday.
Now, the ten commandments are either absolute or they are not.

The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week. Do you remember Saturday to keep it holy? Or, do you worship on Sunday. Allow me to educate you about a point in Christianity. The sabbath commandment was for the OT hebrew nation only not gentiles - it's the only commandment no repeated in the NT. That's because Christ is my sabbath rest - Christ fulfills that commandment Himself.
I'm still waiting for that absolute source of morality other than God...

Read the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. The founders agree with me and disagree with you. You could not have been elected in 1787 because people back then only elected Christians. Non-Christians cannot be trusted to govern justly because they have no foundation for morals. I also invite you to read Washington's farewell address and see what he said about morality being linked to religion (Christianity).
