Moral relativism would be "There exists no source of moral absolutes."
LOL, yeah ok Crash.
Moral relativism is the view that moral standards are grounded only in social custom. This view makes it very convenient for some of the worlds cultures to practice customs such as genital mutilation, slavery etc. etc.
You call this a highly valid view? One that will allow for the greatest quality of life for all members?

Can you give some examples of this? Can you point us to any cultures which practice genital mutilitation or slavery

Governor John Hammond in 1853 wrote in Slavery is not a sin:
Would you have an example that would be a little more current?... As you would know, Hammond's pro slavery argument came in the middle of a failing political career and was a much needed tool in his rise to the United States Senate in 1857. With close to 400,000 slaves in South Carolina at that time, his stance helped to secure that seat.
As well, where in my post did I say salvery was a sin?
Mr. P are you saying that you do in fact believe in God and are willing to use his word to justify certain things? If so, I must admit that your approach in this forum is sometimes confusing. Please refrain from using these outdated examples and stay on topic. "God said it was ok" doesn't cut it at the moment, and of course for you, if a non-believer, shouldn't at any time.
For the world to survive and societies to exist and intertwine in the centuries ahead, a global core set of values must be adopted. The many abhoring, and some dangerous, customs of many societies practiced under the claim of "cultural variation", must come to a stop in our modern world.
The choice to be a servant is an individuals right. Forcing someone to serve, or do anything, against their will or what is right, is wrong.
Right is not always in the folkways. Long live ideal values.
Respectfully, Paul
