To such a person, if another possesses a different moral code then such person's "morals" are absent. they are defunct, perverted, evil.

BUT, liberal beliefs do not contrast with he ten commandments. The gay thing is still being decided about in many church bodies. Abortion might not be murder. And, again, everyone loves porn. That's something that bridges all political groups.
In all seriousness, it is important for those who have strong Christian beliefs to understand that christianity is only one interpretation of the bible. The idea of condeming poeople because of a different interpretation of the same morals is totally and completly absurd (thus the stupid comment). Islamic and Jewish morals have almost the exact same root as Christian morals, for example.
