To most progressives there are no rights or moral certainty. Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill would agree with In A Fragment on Government Bentham says ‘it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong’ and describes this as a fundamental axiom. Next came Marx.

WOW! Thanks for the education. This is hedonism.

To me, moral absolutes are described in the Bible, and in God's precious Word. Sometimes, actually, USUALLY, the moral absolute is in direct conflict with hedonism.

This really IS a spiritual battle, and ONLY a spiritual battle.
