A sidenote on moral absolutes

While you see the idea that such and such action is always good as inherent in the theory, I see it as a result of human need for certainty and easy answers - even if that human happens to be the philosopher propounding that theory.

Indeed it does, apologies for the ambiguity in terms. Very well, there seems little to be discussed left here, unless you've anything else to say?
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
