I would also like to point out that it's possible to hod a belief in God, yet not believe that God is the source of all morals.

If God is the source of everything, as many Christians believe, then He must be the source of all evil, as well. Otherwise the logic is inconsistent.

We are of course talking human "morals". As you pointed out, infanticide is accepted in some cultures, well, rabbits eat theirs, so whers the "universality" in that, I wonder?Mark------------------

thats why i see that religions are folly because they all insist that they are the ones that are correct, not that they are just a group of people who share an opinion. if you ask me i would tell you think hard and decide for yourself what is truly absolute to you. since no matter what your absolute is not my absolute.

Welcome back KP.If something is absolute to you, but not person x,y,&z. Then "absolute" was the wrong choice of word in the first place. It is, in this context, just an opinion. That is unless you have hard evidence. Mark------------------
