RE MORAL RELATIVISM

Comment comment by renoreno on 12 December 2006

Well, young fella, I firmly believe in evolution and my firm morality precludes me from lying, stealing, murder, etc., as well. I think religion simply codified what human beings always knew - treat others like you want to be treated.

The blameless? I read society as having differing allowances for different human beings. I.e., if you're rich or powerful (both is usually the case) you are frequently blamed less than those who are not.

I find this 'moral relativism' crisis malarkey when it is connected to Darwin's theories. Moral relativism's connection to Darwin's theories are a lightweight insubstantial subterfuge to advance positions (often from religionists) that are against evolution. These same advancers can sometimes be read as approving strict hierarchical organization of humanity such as the "Man over Woman" guff that many contemporary Christian conservatives are strenuously calling for. And that's moral relativity to me, in that the rules get applied inconsistently.
