morals (ritual, spiritual, religion, science)

[cvipertooth]

The idea that morality is different from person to person is lending itself towards relativism, which is completely absurd. Rather than repeating myself i would recommend you read my thread on relativism and let me know what you think.

I thought that since the thread was in the same category that people could think for themselves

If you want to be heard, you might want it to be easier to find what you say. I found it quite by chance. If others do not find it by chance - you go unheard. Your choice.

The mistake you make is that morality is a social not individual construct. The individual merely belongs and accedes to the group. It has nothing to do with individual relativity.

the ten commandments define what is truly right and wrong as well as the catechism which elaborates on it. all else is a matter of ethics, according to individuals, families, religious customs or traditions, governments, societies, and institutions, etc.

With all due respect Trish, you don't seem to grasp the very point of the debate. As with most people that subscribe to revealed faith, you make the assumption that all of us subscribe to the precept of Christianity being the word of God. Please don't make that assumption - it inhibits your ability to speak with those of us that don't buy into your faith.

Pah is trying to help you get your message out. I am willing to read what you have to say about relativism, but do not wish to go hunting. If, and when, you decide to provide a hyperlink, I'll give it a look.

Thanks

Reading Num. 5 I don't understand how a Christian or Jew could oppose abortions, when God commands it in cases as mentioned.

Quoting myself from other threads, I maintain that a foetus is a part of the woman until the placenta has left her. Being a part of her body, it is her decision and nobody else's how to deal with it.

morals are a good thing to have. . . although - one man's treasure is another man's rubbish. what i may treasure, someone else may see as nonsense. that's life i guess.

That is very true. Fruballs for that!
