Is human sacrifice an absolute moral principle? The Aztecs, the Maya, and numerous other American Indian cultures considered it beneficial. Most likely the ancient Hebrews up to Abraham also. It would appear that maybe some absolutes, such as the ban on murder, are maybe not so absolute. Leaving aside for the moment the questions "Are there moral absolutes", and "is the ban against murder one of them". I would make the point that just because some people disagree with a moral absolute doesn't mean that morality has to be relative. Its is possible that the people who disagree with these absolutes(or with others) are wrong. Tim
