Another excellent post! You have a vast array of interesting topics to write about. I'm curious what area your formal education is in and I'm curious about what formed your thinking. Was this highly influenced by your family or religious practice or did you develop it from your education and experience at a university?

Some years ago, I turned on the radio to an interesting discussion about the danger of relativism. The gist was that God is not relative but absolute. I think if people could accept this and stop trying to convince themselves they are greater/better than someone else who has lower moral standards, we could actually slow down the degradation of our society. We always find some way to rationalize and justify our behavior relatively.
