I've been watching Randy straw man his way through this thread and I have to say that the morality of the religious is empty. The unbeliever who lives a moral life is far more moral than the believer who lives a moral life because the unbeliever does so, not to gain reward or avoid punishment in some mythic afterlife, but because it's what they truly believe is right. The morality of the buy-bull (or any other holey book) is the morality of the carrot and the stick, without a carrot or a stick.
No, Randy, morals are not absolute. They are very subjective. Further, what was moral yesterday may not be moral today and what is immoral today may be moral tomorrow. Morals are a work in progress. We've not gotten it perfect yet, nor are we likely to. Still, it's what we have despite your pious claim of the absolute morals handed down by your gawd. In truth, the only absolute in this whole thread is the bullshit spouted about the morality of the buy-bull or the morality of gawd.
