I see. You are a Moral Relativist.

>>>Or is it your contention--as your post implies--that non-Christians believe and advocate murder, theft, and hatred?<<<

It it your contention to take everything I write out of context?

LOL.

You are joking, yes? Or did you genuinely miss the extremely simple point? The moral values (which you specifed in your previous post) are absolute, and also common to most folks, as I indicated.

We may not all agree on the foundation for those morals, that is a different issue.

And it is also a secondary issue. I happen to believe that Matthew 19:19 is pretty absolute; you are the one who would appear to be 'relativistic' about it.
