[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4639667, member: 63706"] I thought you said it was absolute, maybe I misunderstood. I was just pointing out a flaw in the golden rule. It's actually a bigger mess than that, but I was trying to keep it simple. You misunderstand me. God would be the absolute moral authority. When I say an "absence of moral authority", I am talking about absent from any particular person's moral reasoning. That is to say people who don't believe in God have nothing approaching moral absolutism. The closest thing they can point to with any logic at all is the natural law of survival of the fittest. Any moral claim aside from that is a matter of opinion. [/QUOTE]
