Four questions for Christians

[Tonus]

It is becomingi clear to me that moral relativism is every bit as real to Christians as it is to us. To a Christian (especially the Waldorfs and fraudos of the world) there is no such thing as a moral act or an immoral act; whether an action is good or evil depends entirely upon who is doing it.

I think the idea is that there are two standards. God's standard for himself, and his standard for mankind. They aren't the same: god is a magnificent and powerful being who is far beyond the comprehension of men. We don't think twice about swatting a fly, after all. It boils down to a might-makes-right argument.

To me, this indicates that there are no absolute or objective morals, at least for humanity. In the Bible, there was a time when it was moral to kill a man who performed physical labor on the Sabbath, or who killed another person accidentally. Today, a Christian would not consider those to be moral acts. God's acts are always moral because there is no one who could demand an accounting from him. A dust mite never asked me to explain myself to its satisfaction.
