What IS good, and how do we determine it?

It means that it IS immoral regardless of what some people believe. So, going around butchring infidel men, women, and children for the sole reason that they are not radical Islamists, is immoral, period. This is a moral truth.

I keep using Isis as an example because it's the big thing going on right now. But it's just an example and is not limited to them.

I agree with your point #3.

And how about pastors (not catholics, but christians) calling for killing gays and transgender people? How about them praying for the demise of people? It's the same spirit, only held in check by a thin layer of society. What about capital punishment? What's your stance on that issue?

What about catholic priests and monks abusing children, thereby ruining their lives and their abilities to trust? I live in Austria where this is a big issue. Not as big as in Ireland, but big nonetheless.

What about Brejvik, whose outspoken goal was to save christian Europe from Islamisation?

Religion isn't a safety belt that somehow, magically, conjures morality and decency from the skies. Truth is, if you want, you can justify every vileness by reading any holy book.
