Yet, so many of the basic moral "rules" cross cultural and racial and time barriers-- they not always interpreted the same, which sometimes obscures the similarities, because of cultural dressing, and sometimes they are acted upon differently, which makes them look different, but they spring nonetheless from the same basic belief.
Which leads me to wonder about moral absolutes-- unless these can all be traced to maybe plain old survival instincts??

"I think moral absolutes do not exist."

You don't? Can you not imagine purity without polution? Perhaps it is impossible to achieve such purity in practicality. A moral absolute is an ideal of principle in an uncontaminated, albeit abstract form. Ideals are achievable in the abstract if not in the practical realm of spacio-temporal existence. If its just a matter of thinking about it you ought to be able to do that...
