> I agree with you. I happen to be an agnostic who believes in an absolute system of rights and wrongs and I have little tolerance for relativists of any kind (moral or otherwise). This is a really tricky area, and I think that there is an important distinction between making decisions based upon ethics and ones based upon obedience to an organized religion.
