I'm more than a bit leery about someone who's morality is dictated by an organization that teaches it is better to let a woman die of septicemia than to let a doctor cut the rotting piece of meat that was her fetus out of her just because it still has a heartbeat.

This is inaccurate.

If we followed the "don't be a dick" rule we could. To do this of course we would first have to discard all religious texts, they are all full of commandments that break the golden rule.


So, you agree that morals are not be relative. But then where did they come from?
