Reply #19: I am a Moral Relativist and not ashamed of it. [View All]

We need to help people to understand Moral Relativism better.

It doesn't mean that there is no Right and Wrong, but rather that which makes something Right or Wrong are the essential conditions inherent to each situation, so what is necessary is responsible honesty about those conditions.

The Reich Wing, and most especially its BLASPHEMING religious running dogs have a ve$ted intere$t in telling people what is "Right" and what is "Wrong". They don't want Responsible moral agents and as long as ANY of us repeat the old coercive Authoritarian patterns in the name of ____________, it's only a question of time until the ascendence of one side or the other results in ANOTHER situation in which people suffer (and I DO very much see this from the perspective of what I know of common practices in Long-Term Care, but it could be ANY people) while others say "I was just following orders."

It's ironic that even the "Christian's" moral teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ, did not claim equality with Right and Wrong in the mind of God. Contrary to his church and state, he accepted personal responsibility for Right action and, in the end, wondered why His Father had forsaken him.
