Good Morning it's Ten o' Clock.

Good day my lil eggie weggies. Last night was one of moral contemplation as I sat finising my book Nina's Journey . My moral introspection had nothing to do with the book , but was brough on BY the book I guess in a wierd sense. In this age of moral relativism, one has to wonder how people devoid of faith in say God, can from any firm foundation form a moral absolute that then codifies laws and unltimately order. Then take into account the vast array of religions out there and then again ask yourself HOW can anyone be sure they are right? I am not making an argument FOR Christianity, but I am a Christian and believe firmly that it is the only true faith. However let's visit the objectivist camp for a moment. Here is a group of people that believe faith in anything is what really yields a relative moral compass. I cannot understand this because if that was true then humanism would have solved all our problems long ago, yet as it stands humanism has had its' offspring liberalism which in turn has produced moral relativism.Right now I am restricing my comments to simple conjecture and will save the endless reams of links and sources for later, but for the moment let us assume and accept that humanism has failed. But I can hear me eggie weggies say"Paul how can you prove this, why just look at the advances made in the last one hundred years alone!" Yes advances like Triblinka, Stalin, Pol Pot etc....All of these people and events a direct result of personal truths and moral relativism. A blanketing remark, but I challenge you to examine just the two people and the even that Hitler began, and then examine the philosophies espoused (not mouthed and then disregarded i.e. Hitler being a christians, not true at all) but the actual foundation upon which these people and events were birthed. All of these people were a direcrt result of moral relativism in its most purest and evil form. As man departs from the obedience to God and then becomes god, then follows pain, suffering and of course death. How does this relate to objectivists? Simple, objectivists maintain that religion is to blame fo the worlds problems, yet they ignore Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol, Ad Nauseum. This then leads me to ask how can objectivism BE objective without a foundation embedded in truth.
More to follow.......
