Religion & Ethics: Content from Across the ABC

Who said that there are absolute moral boundaries? The history of humanity shows thousands of examples of contradictory moral values (from human sacrifice [not murder] to communal property [not theft]). I have never seen any evidence of a single thread of morality in any of man's interactions, thus, how can you say that there is one? Surely, the observable facts present the stark reality that morality (and ethics, laws, etc) are social constructions within the context where they exist.

Ironically, if this be the case then your proposed absolute morality is, in fact, just the morality that you are putting forward and therefore no more or less true than any other morality which may be available.

So, onus is back on you.
