So do you believe that there is one amorphous "perfect" reality floating out there? When have I ever said this? Headhunters- for example- are they immoral? By our standards, yes. By their standards? I don't know. Cultures that practice ritual murder (human sacrifice) are they immoral? Ditto. Cultures where lying is acceptable- are they immoral? Impose this standard and ALL societies are immoral. "I LOVE that dress." "I had a great time last night." "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." "Sure I'll respect you in the morning." Our society abounds with lying. We accept much of it as "white" lies. Any completely truthful person would be a pariah in our society.
