-and to smooth rough edges. It may, in fact, work that way. If there are right and/or wrong answers to moral questions it's conceivable that a given individuals moral standards are universal. Universally normative, mind, not universally descriptive. What is and what should be. What we do and what we should do. This is precisely the contention made in the case of a god.
Gods decisions and acts and nature are universally normative...even if those acts and those decisions and that nature are not universally descriptive. The great tragedy, as far as christianity is concerned, is the gulf of difference between what is, and what a christian asserts should be. Acknowledging that poverty exists, that your brother is hungry, and insisting that it should not, and he should not be.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
