"We affirm that moral values derive their source from human experience. Ethics is autonomous and situational needing no theological or ideological sanction." In a given community, say one person out of 100 is a child molester and the balance not. I suppose no matter what the religious leanings if any, that community would disapprove of molesting children. In another community 60 out of 100 people might be child molesters and according to the manifesto "Ethis" are "situational" needing no "sanction" or ideological constraint and therefore is ok. One person can be right and everybody else wrong or one person wrong and everybody else right. There is no mathematical formula for what is ok or taboo. Saying that "moral values derive their source from human experience" you better hope the society with that rule has a lot of good experiences. Anyway, I'm sure Scotty and his buddies will raise enough money to get their very own tree fort and then they can institute some secret codes and passwords so only the initiated can read their "manifesto". I understand they all have to sign the "manifesto" when they join up.
