Whoa, we do not agree on approving of moral relativism.

The bible, my authority, is the same for all societies, all generations, all ethnic groups, etc.

Your subjective, societal moral relativism changes with the whim of the masses. So what was okay last time in taking a life may not be okay this time, etc.

You didn't answer my question, "Would you consider yourself a Utilitarian, a spiritual descendant of John Stuart Mill?

I didn't know that was your question. I don't even know what a Utilitarian is.

I said we agree on the relativity of taking a human life, that's all. Isn't saying that the taking of a human life is OK sometimes, dependent upon the situation....relative? If not, please give me an example of something that is morally relative.
