Re: Unjust Wrath
How can there be absolute morality if every person establishes their own definition of morality based on their own unique opinons and upbringing?
​
That is a good question. You are asking it rhetorically but it need not be rhetorical. A better way to phrase it might be, "How is absolute morality defined when morality seems to be derived on an individual basis?"
​
This question is based on the presupposition that morality is in fact absolute; otherwise you would have no valid arguement against the Bible.
​
To presume that an absolute morality must come from revelation is a fallacy that many religious people make. Who is anyone to say that such a morality comes from their particular ancient book?

My Vote
I don't know what you would describe me today. I have had a variety of hats on in my posting history here. Perhaps 'Christian-Heritage Pseudo-Religious Anti-Fundamentalist Pro-Science' ?
​
At any rate, I absolutly believe that rape is fundamentally wrong in all circumstances.
​
Furthermore, I absolutly believe that any other opinion is immoral.
