If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

If all morality is relative - then whatever gods morality is, would be relative.  This is tautologically true.  If, otoh, you believe that gods morality is not relative...then you cannot believe that all morality is relative.

One way or another, you've misspoken.

Quote:Any 'objective' moral standard that is not God's righteousness is just another form of moral relativism.
I think you're going to have alot of trouble demonstrating that claim.  
Quote:as the inherently good or bad deeds that underline what makes object moralism 'objective' is still based on what society defines as right and or wrong.
If the good and bad making properties of a moral system are the declarations of society, then we are discussing a fundamentally relativistic society.
Quote:The primary difference is the points in objective morality are adopted generationally. Sometimes having around for several generations. Like murder, or rape.. but even then these lines get blurred from time to time.
If the good and bad making properties are the traditions of a society, then we are discussing a fundamentally relativistic society.  

In contrast..in any objective moral system, the good and bad making properties of x - must be factual properties of x.  Not properties of a given subjects society or tradition.  I'll give you three claims, see if you can spot the objective one?

1.  It's bad to punch people in the face because we never have before.
2.  It's bad to punch people in the face because our government says so.
3.  It's bad to punch people in the face because punching people in the face causes harm.

Quote:This 'christian over lap' is a perfect example of generational/object morality as it is a diluted form of God's righteous standard. Which is eroding over time. What would never been allowed two generations back is now the social norm. Which is where my question to you came in, to determine if your morality was objective or relative. and if objective where that line is.
Christians have been marrying children for many more than just two generations.  There's nothing to determine.  I've told you multiple time that I'm a moral realist.  Other posters have reminded you of this basic fact.

The facts of whatever matter x.  It really is that simple.
Quote:I contend objective morality is just generational form of relative morality. IE, it is wrong because your father told you it was wrong, and His father before him and so on back till at one point it for whatever reason it wasn't. 
If the good and bad making properties are daddy declarations - that would fall somewhere between relativism and subjectivism.  Neither of those two is objectivism.
Quote:I am also pointing out without God as a point or foundation to your moral/Righteous objectivity, if you lived in a time where "K/F" was not generationally prohibited there would be nothing to stop you from indulging in this sin or any other.
I find that I mostly don't need to be stopped from doing bad shit.  Our experiences may be different.  The things god says or the things people say about god aren't only unnecessary to objective moral systems - they're disqualifying to objective moral systems.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
