Re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]
The problem in this world is that the 3 Abrahamic religions are so out there they don't even see themselves as "religions", they see themselves as "reality"......................
This is an interesting philosophical dilemma. If there is a God, then there is a truth. If that God has rules, then morality is absolute. The fact that man does not know God nor know God's rules does not change the fact that morality is absolute. If one has a belief, then they also believe that morality is absolute.
Of course, if there is no God, the concept of morality is considerably different. For one, morality becomes more about ethics than morals as virtue is more rooted in philosophy than truth. In that case, "morality" is relative.
When you suggest that morality is relative, that statement is more about ethics: respecting the rights of others to have different belief systems. Despite the fact that people have different belief systems does not mean that each of those belief systems is correct; in fact, most of them (the specific systems) will be wrong.
