    Well no, the point is legitimate.

    Regardless of your hunch it appeared from your post that you feel that morality is not any frequent currency but changes markedly from group to group and individual to individual.

    While this might be true oftentimes, by touching upon this type of sensetive area as paedophilia it appears there are a number of morals we respect as applying to all humankind and where the question of'who is right' is a forgone conclusion.

    Slavery would be another example.

    Yes Gmak, in situations such as pedophilia and captivity and other people I'd agree with you. The reason that I said that you misconstrued what I said is because you focused on the sentence in my first post and my fundamental point I shared was in my third sentence. I would now have written it if I were to rewrite that post. My paragraph said When one individual or group state's it is immoral and yet another one does not who's right? So the point I made had to do with groups and people that Disagree. I was not like the obvious judgements like captivity and pedophilia, the majority of the human race would agree that those two really are immoral and inhumane. I was referring to rather issues like abortion, gay rights, birth control, whose religion/god is superior to the other groups and other difficulties etc. etc.. In other words I was referring to issues which are currently being dialogued by individuals and groups and that I Was Not referring to issues such as slavery and pedophilia which have no need to be dialogued by the general populace of earth because the majority of human beings agree to people. Cheers,Fritz

    Fair enough Fritz.

    I guess this discussion is for another location.

    However We'll have to agree to disagree. In its time the rights and wrongs of slavery were debated just as much and really greater ferocity than the problems you point out.

    Correct me if I am wrong but it seems to me as if you're inferring that abortion, homosexual rights, birth control, whose god/religion is the right one are on precisely the same level of immorality as captivity and pedophilia?

    However We are going to have to agree to disagree. Really greater ferocity than the issues and with just as much that the rights and wrongs of slavery were debated in its time that you point out.

    in as much as they are all moral issues.

    I also think moral truths could be subjected in a logical way without having to resort to the, as you put it,'oxymoron' of a spiritual decision.

    The rights of a homosexual woman are just as important as those of a black servant. Therefore is the right to life of a unborn child.

    Paedophilia and captivity are only more immoral than the issues you outline in the level to which they remove these rights from the affected person.

    To me personally an act is as immoral as its intent and consequence viewed through the lens of position.

    In terms of faith I hold that everyone has the right to believe what they want as long as they don't infringe my rights in the procedure

    I think Voltaire sums it up best in his announcement'I disagree with everything you say but I will defend with my life your right to say it'.

    This I believe also encapsulates a universal reality.

    If you ask the question'who's right?' Do it try and answer or aquiesce into a moral ambivalence?
