Baraka, the more I think about the above, the less I agree with it. For every moral "absolute" I can come up with, I can think of exceptions. The existance of exceptions seem to corrupt the claim of any moral to be absolute. For instance, is it murder if a soldier is greviously wounded and asks his buddy to put him out of his misery? Is it even murder? Is canalbalism ok if it is the sole means to keep someone else alive? What if it's culturally acceptable? Are people outside that culture justified in attempting eliminate that practice.
