Moral Realitivism

Name: Anonymous 2007-03-13 20:40 ID:pHcxFqGp

Today, a particularly insidious obstacle to the task of education is the massive presence in our society and culture of that relativism which, recognizing nothing as definitive, leaves as the ultimate criterion only the self with its desires. And under the semblance of freedom it becomes a prison for each one, for it separates people from one another, locking each person into his or her own ego.

Pointing this out with Liberals only indicates to me your low level of intelligence. You never said christians were perfect, but you imply that somehow they are better than simple-minded liberals when it is apparent that they prescribe to the same kind of stupidity and manipulations.

My stance is that there is a difference between "universal morals" and "moral relativity". I'm not sure if I believe in either. Morals can be universal, but they can also still be relative. Not adhering to "universal morals" doesn't automatically make one immoral. And the fact is, when you look at both sides objectively there's no way you can say both sides have absolutely adhered to their own moralities. If neither side is absolute or perfect, then both sides have their flaws and both sides are clearly damaging society.

I'm not nit-picking at your argument. True: It's far from 100% anything, let alone perfect. But nor am I sitting here saying that I have all the answers. But for anyone to sit here blaming and "anal retentively" nit picking either side is a little crazy, to me, sorry.

Finding flaws in the morality of one side while ignoring the flaws in your own (because clearly you've picked a side) is the definition of relative morals. You can fault me for pointing that out. Don't get haughty with me with you've decided to "join a team" - as it were.
