Jason:
Is murder subjective? Is rape subjective? Those are personal experiences to.
Using the logic you've used, i could say that love doesn't exist. I could
say that depression doesn't exist. I could say that fear doesn't exist.
Those are personal experiences to.

Jason please! No offense but this ia really lame. Murder and rape are
crimes that can be seen by multiple witnesses and as such can be
proven beyong doubt, or at least with reasonable certainty. They
don't compare with an invisible God no one has ever seen or heard.
And they don't compare with the so-called experience of having "God
work in your heart." As personal as rape and murder may be, at least
I can see them or feel them and so can multiple witnesses, unlike
having "God work in youe heart," which is purely subjective. C'mon
man, THINK!
JASON
Do you believe in moral absolutes? If you don't and think that it's
relative, then you deny an absolute's defense. If you say that moral
absolutes do not exist, it's a contradiction because that in itself is an
absolute. Morality is personal experience to. Does that mean it's limited
to one person?
RevGaud
The morality merry-go-round AGAIN?!?!? No way I'm getting into this.
Just deal with my above reply, please.
