[I decided to bait him into a trap using moral codes against the bible and posted some links about Utilitarianism, not suprisingly, he covered up free speech and deleted the links, closed the thread and posted stupid crap, totally missing the point of the original post.]
God is a moral absolute. is a relative practice where morality is determined by the action's relative impact and whether the impact is positive or negative.
Moreover, it denies the overall sin nature of man as well as the existance of God. It seems to be most commonly promoted by the likes of Karl Marx.

If a moral absolute behaves in an immoral manner, define morality, given your parameters.
You know, Bro. Randy, I'd shut up about relative morality, considering the only moral absolute you've got is God's demands.
"God is a moral absolute. is a relative practice where morality is determined by the action's relative impact and whether the impact is positive or negative."Everyone, whether they admit it or not, whether they are hardline Fundies or not, live by situational ethics. It has to be done that way or life would be immpossible.
"Moreover, it denies the overall sin nature of man as well as the existance of God."
Well, that's a good thing. God is imaginary and, therefore, sin does not exist.
"It seems to be most commonly promoted by the likes of Karl Marx."
Well, Karl hasn't promoted much of anything over an hundred years.
Just because you don't like something doesn't make it communist.
"Companions, the creator seeks, not sheep. Not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks. Those who write new values on new tablets. Companions, the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters, for all about him is ripe for the harvest." Friedrich NietzscheEdit : I just realized that this clown would probably associate Nietzsche only with the quote "God is dead.". I'm sure he'd dismiss the whole of his writings based solely on that one out-of-context quote. Thus, it's probably safe to ignore me.
Papabear,
Thanks, Bro. Randy. That clears that up nicely. You might find it interesting that Karl Marx's brothers, Groucho and Harpo, also didn't believe in "the overall sin nature of man."
Old Viking: And now, my impression of Karl Marx:
where morality is determined by the action's relative impact and whether the impact is positive or negative.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
