Moral relativism has always been a problem of the left.
Liberals, progressives and socialists of various stripes are fond of imposing their moral code on others – from coercive redistribution of wealth to invented "rights" for people based on sexual proclivities to "choice" to kill unwanted, unborn babies – without any transcendent basis for their convictions.
But now, peculiarly, the "right" is becoming seduced by this intellectually bankrupt concept of moral relativism – to the great peril of the United States of America.
First, let's define moral relativism: Moral relativism is the view that ethical standards, morality and positions of right or wrong are culturally based and therefore subject to a person's individual choice. We can all decide what is right for ourselves.
The Bible strictly and repeatedly warns against this concept with illustrations from history: "Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes" (Deuteronomy 12:8). Instead, the Bible reveals God's standards of approved and disapproved conduct for mankind. Like it or not, believer or atheist, this revelation is the basis for the laws that led to western civilization. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=211157
