The liberal position seems to be that there are no moral absolutes and that therefore morality is ultimately developed in a society via consensus

And why is this not a reasonable assertion?

Given no other means to finance a medically necessary operation to save the life of one's mother, would not armed robbery be morally acceptable?

In disregarding relativism as a law of our physical universe, you would have people believe that a physical manifestation of the human form can travel at the speed of light.

The Theory of Relativity has proven this impossible.

This theory is the basis for modern day science.

Thus, you argue that science itself is a joke.

You argue that the science behind nuclear weaponry is impossible.

I am VERY GLAD that right wingers are not in general very good mathemeticians for the power in their hands to DO GREAT WRONGS with their ideas of moral absolutes HORRIFIES ME TO NO END.

I believe strongly in God. I believe God is that which we all are together... man, animal, earth, universe, subatomic particle.

We live in a spiritual world.

Life is a series of compromises and choices, meant to help bring about the greatest good for all in an imperfect world.

Perfection is a goal for which we all must constantly strive, but none of us shall ever attain in this life.

It is like trying to divide One by an exceedingly small number. You can approach infinity the smaller you make that number, but you WILL NEVER GET THERE.

And may God have mercy on both of our souls, friend.
