There you go again, misrepresenting what I said. I showed an example of moral relativism (which you said didn't exist) and you start suggesting that I advocate a particular practice. Is this how debate works in your mind? Say something incorrect, have it refuted and then say outrageous things, attribute them as principles or practices proposed by someone else to hid the weaknesses in your thinking. Sorry, but I think that is going to be seen by everyone but you. The fact that THEY (the Amazonian natives) see nothing wrong with the practice (ritual murder) proves my point, namely that moral relativism exists. Legal relativism is different. But X already pointed that out. I am a utilitarian whose main social value is that of compassion. If it is useful, do it. If it ain't, don't. If it is kind, do it. If it is mean, don't. If I don't want people hurting me, then I shouldn't hurt other people. Again, obvious to anyone other than someone on a mission. So, Ron, what is your mission?
