Harrison, you then went on to tell me that if I don't see things the way you see them, I'm practicing moral relativism, which I would assume you don't take kindly to, and I would have to come down on the side of you thinking I am WRONG if I disagree with you.

My point is just because you don't like the things I say or disagree with my opinions -- which somebody along the way in this thread pointed out are MY GOD GIVEN RIGHTS -- then somehow I'm wrong.

The opinion itself is not wrong, you are free to think whatever you choose. But it certainly is not the one the Founders held.

I did no such thing. I pointed out that the statement "Just because I disagree with you doesn't make me wrong" was morally relativistic in its language. Words have meaning. If you're an honest person, you have to concede that the statement must be true for both of us. The only way to interpret it then is "Nobody's wrong."

Moral relativism. Either that or meaningless verbage.
