Re: One of the greatest dangers facing mankind.
This is possibly off topic but could you please clarify absolute morality? As in but how do you define absolute morality. I"ve had a hard time understanding the absolute morality because all the threads that have been made on it have had degenerated. And i need something that i can build on.

Re: OT but maybe I can pull it back.
And morality is not absolute.
If morality is not absolute then nothing is wrong and everything is permissable, including Israel in Lebanon and the US in Iraq.
Check mate.
That is an inappropriate arguement to state, especially when you have not explicitly (you have implied one) esatblished what absolute morality is. How can you point to absolute morality when you haven't defined it?(reply to this)
And how is a relative moral scale equivalent to nothing being wrong and everything being permissable?(reply to this)
Your check mate statement sounds very hollow and lacking at this time.

Re: Bleak
Please I would ask you to either start a new thread requested posts 64, 69. Because at this time you are throwing around absolute moralites or relativism, and in either case, you have not explicitly stated what the absolute moralies are and neither have you demonstrated how your characterization of relativism is proper.

Re: Misconceptions
I would like to call your attention to Absolute Morality...Again.. As morality comments are off topic on this thread. And I dislike the undefined usage of Absolute Morality, and relative morality in this thread. I would appreciate your participation as it would clear up some of my misunderstanding present in this thread.
