The "Cultural Context" Excuse

[Thumpalumpacus]

Interestingly, those christians most likely to retreat behind cultural context to excuse the old testament are also more than likely willing to propose that god is a moral law giver handing down objectively true moral edicts that apply to all people at all times regardless of personal opinion.

So, I mean, that'd give me pause for thought.

Exactly. Moral abosolutists retreating to context to defend their fables are missing an essential contradiction in their thinking.
