I understand why you think there is a contradiction, I simply disagree.

How can they teach their children the right way to live if they are responsible for making up the right way to live? This is perverted and evil.

Fathers are supposed to teach their kids how to live.
And...what is the correct way? Do you know the answer? You said some time ago that we probably have similar views on morals, so why is it assumed that I cannot come to justifiable conclusions about morals?

While it is true that people are ultimately responsible for finding the right way to live, that doesn't mean that some morals aren't demonstrably superior to others. Unless I am mistaken, the only snag we caught on was that you rejected my support for the value of human life as being a presupposition.

I am curious, though, as to what exactly the objective morals you claim god gave us are. I have heard of god given morals many times, but I assume by this you don't mean the stoning of punk teenagers.

They had god, much worse. Just ask the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Wink

Define "advanced".
