How convenient that YOU get to decide. So then Hitler was justified in murdering millions of jews because morality is relative? What about the children he made orphans when he gassed their parents?
It's funny how some people will go to such lengths to avoid absolute morality. It induces all sorts of uncomfortable questions, doesn't it? Like perhaps you and I have sinned...
I could corner you all night over your ridiculous notion of morality but I think it's clear you aren't man enough to admit you are wrong. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

You know this is what I thought to, as I scrolled down the
first page. But now Cody and DS have me not so sure any
more.
I wonder what OP's thinking at this point?

You have no logical grounds for moral relativism. Nobody has yet provided grounds for it, even amongst far greater minds than our own. The notion that morality is an evolutionary trait that is completely subjective to cultural factors crumbles under the light of reason every time.

...Morals are relative to the individual. Evil is relative to the individual, Good is relative to the individual.
It's always up to the individual and damned be what others think is Good, Evil and Moral....

I see what you're getting at but, what if evil people believe that there is life after death, but that they won't be held accountable for their actions after death?
In essence, their evil ways are to satisfy their existence on earth, without the fear of judgement later on.
If such a situation in life and death was true, people would run riot doing whatever they want, because in the end it either doesn't matter because nothing exists or it doesn't matter because there is no Hell to go to.
Which brings us to the importance of order here on earth. There must be fear of punishment or else the only fear in this life is pain, and that's usually not enough on its own to stop people from committing heinous acts.
What I mean when I say order, is a story so powerful it can bend the behavior of all but the most evil in this world.
