Your last statement is why I believe there is no morally absolute behavior in man, it's all relative.

I am not speaking of behavior, I am speaking of moral principles themselves. Behavior means nothing because it says nothing about what "ought" to be done. You can't make conclusions about moral principles from observing human behavior. They are two different things.

To me, behavior is sometimes the result of someone acting on their moral principles. Behavior of peoples, is what we have, to live with. If someone is of different beliefs than you, and they believe that it is ok to steal from you, you respond to their behavior. You cannot separate behavior from morals, that is one of the things that makes us human.
