Everybody's belief/morals are different. For instance I take that last paragraph of yours and laugh at it. To many americans doing so would not be immoral because many people don't believe in god. Your moral yardstick would be different from mine. People in the bible belt have different morals from those in las vegas. If I had religous right morals I'd kill myself. ---Richard.Bragg@ssa.co.uk wrote:

Sorry but there are absolutes and there is a moral yardstick. Whether this is accepted or not is beside the point.

There has to be absolutes otherwise any action can be excused (or damned). The real cry should be "God help us to instigate Your yardstick". God doesn't change and neither does His measure.

1)Love the Lord, with all your heart, with all you soul with all your mind and all your strength 2)Love you neibour as yourself.

Everything else hangs on these.
