This is where I have problems with these guys.

They believe that their own idea about morality can be used as the standard, but they don't allow that right to someone who has other opinions (i.e. that man/boy love is harmless).

Without the absolutes given to us by our Creator, we just wander around in a netherworld of guesswork and self-absorbtion when it comes to determining right from wrong. And these otherwise very smart people can't seem to see that.

So if, for some reason, you decided you weren't a Christian anymore, you'd have no moral compass?

I feel sorry for you.

Sure I do. If they can show that their system of morality works better, I'm open-minded enough to change my views.

My morality is not religion-based and yet I have no problems determining right from wrong.
