I have never denied moral standards, I have said that they are relative, and that there are no moral absolutes. If, as you say, man can decide to be moral/good or immoral/bad, that sounds relative to me. What are moral principles without behavior? They are beliefs, which are relative to the person. these things do not become equal, they become relative. One of the purposes of societies are to deal with these issues...sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't...we are just human.

When I say standard, I mean absolute. If you say you believe in God but not in moral absolutes, your God must be a very small impotent God.
