Alansmithee, please be careful with your words. I am a former evangelical (and I mean
EVANGELICAL, no holds barred!!) and even during those ten years of my life I could see that secular humanists were not evil worshippers of satan. It is offensive that you think secular humanists actually want to
eliminate someone's right to have morals. How can you love someone when you believe they are amoral and damned to hell?
Cultural relativism is not the same as extreme relativism; there is a major, crucial difference. The absolute exists whether or not our little human minds can apprehend it, no matter what side we shout from... left, right, above, below, etc. Tolerating and loving the rest of the planet who does their very best to live the good life, appeal to their own morals and sense of the absolute, and
not hurt anyone is something I can't imagine Jesus disagreeing with. Why are you so intent on converting everyone in this thread?
If anyone's interested, see my last three posts in Coming Together on "Virginity being a lie" for more details on the whole relative/absolute thing with sex brought into it (yee ha):
