What was it about this answer that justifies your claim that I am dishonest?

Beliefs in origins is another argument.

My arguement has been that moral ideals exist. They exist in an absolute form across time and culture. They have not evolved, since the small children of one culture are able to recognize them in the same way as the small children of a distant culture. They are good/bad only in reference to human endeavor, which is unique from the perspective of each and every human being.

Those absolutes are associated with human endeavor and they are perceivable in our experience as such. The term that I have used to represent this phenomenon is "enmeshment."
