@Sae.. yes it was intended originally as just a little poke and I'm glad you can see how that quote could have been used for a case for thought police.. luckily I know you are far too sensible, most of the time As far as that tirade.. sure whatever yoou'd like, this is your house, not mine.

"SO THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS" Do they???

Umm, well yes,actually,a least for me. It's the basis of moral relativism, realpolitik, business, and the way the world actually works day-to-day. Morality is based on pragmatism.

However, that's not a position one may take as a follower of any of the Abrahamic faiths. The Torah, the new Testament and the Koran are all replete with moral absolutes. The Torah has the most,with 613 .(They are known collectively as The Mitzvot, Mosaic Law,or simply The Law.Christianity ignores all but ten.)

While I completely agree that meta-ethical relativism (I believe the type of moral relativism you espouse from what I've read) is completly contrary to the abrahamic faith I don't believe Normative relativism is contrary to it. I actually believe that I follow a normative relativistic moral appproach to others. I say this becuase I can fully get behind the statement "There is no universal moral standard with which we are to judge others, because we shouldn't judge. Morality is completely subjective from humanistic perspective and we shouldn't judge others based off of ourmorals, traditions, convictions or practices."

Also the reason Christians "ignore all but 10" is primarily because Moses states that his law was added and is tempoary until Jesus comes. Jesus then knew he was leaving and people need rules so he said to keep them, but there's this holy spirit that will help you as a checks and balances to your interpretation to the law, because you guys are too serious with the stonings. I'll follow any o the mossianic lows that are relevant to today and are in line with my personal moral code.
