[ToryHeartland] >>>I live in good accord with friends, colleagues, and neighbours who both profess and practise identical values--and who are Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics or atheists. We may all find different foundations for these values in our personal creeds (or lack thereof), but the values we practise are common to us all.<<<

[PhilipFrenau] I see. You are a Moral Relativist.

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.

That is a myth perpetuated by Moral Relativists, like yourself. Answer this: prior to the Christians and early Jews, which nations practiced the Law of the Lord (e.e., "...all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them..." - Matthew 7:12)? Just curious.
