So to be clear, your view is that moral absolutes such as murder are not absolutes at all but murder, like a choice between the Mets and Yankees, is relative to who murders whom?

If that is correct your views are antithetical to theism which necessarilly makes you an anti-theist. No?

I've seen no reason to assume any attributes to murder other than it just 'is' (though I'd hardly call it similar to a choice between the Mets and the Yankees...I don't really understand the comparison). It isn't 'wrong' in any universal sense, just a relative sense when someone with some intelligence defines it as much. As such, I don't see reason to believe that there is an inherent 'law' coded in the universe regarding murder.

If that is correct your views are antithetical to theism which necessarilly makes you an anti-theist.

Well, if all theists believe otherwise, then yes, but I'd hardly claim that as evidence that I have 'disdain' for all theism.
