Really? So, there is no absolute evil? I get that bin Laden and his crew believed that they were doing right in the eyes of Allah, so you just write off their actions as "morality is in the eyes of the beholder"? What about Hitler?

Post-Modernism never ceases to amaze me. Seriously...how does the idea that there is no absolute morality even creep into society's thought, or the zeitgeist, at all?

Passaman--

Talking ethics on 2+2 is a bad idea, but I can't resist, here. It's a serious error to conflate "Post-Modernism [sic]" and ethical hyperrelativism.

Noted. I guess what I was trying to say is that the moral relativism exhibited by the masses during this POMO period never ceases to amaze me.
