If you think your moral standards are 'superior', just prove it.

The need to prove that another standard for our culture is better is your burden, not mine. The traditional morality of America, the one hated so badly by liberals, the historical default standard of America is the one I will stay with until someone can 'prove' they have a better one.

I will repeat what I said before.

Evidence that what a culture thinks about its foundational reality is very important and distinctive is seen in the freedom and prosperity of that culture.

Well, I didn't say that any one moral standard was superior. You did. So, it seems only proper that you should show why.

In #116 I wrote the following: "Every society has a concept of the right and wrong; their own brand of morality. In all societies, restrictions to conduct, and punishment based on misconduct, serve to protects the community."

This is not about liberals trying to change our standards or proposing a different standard for us.
