This may be true in the Old Testament. I do not believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. Some of it may be true other parts not.
How so? And what of the Buddhist or Islam view of the world?
No the Holocaust was always wrong no matter how many people believed it was right. The morality of the situation is not determined by the number of people who believe it. Like 2+2=4, whether you or others believe it or not.
Do you believe it is right and who told you so? Consensus?
Was this your yearbook photo?
Not only stupid but utterly delusional.
They believe they are morally correct in condemning homosexuals and making women cover everything but their eyes.
Do you believe they are moral? In their view they are absolutely morally correct. Their set of standard measurement is different than yours. Thatās all 2+2=4 and mathematics in general is. A standard set by which to describe the physical phenomena of the world that scientists have agreed upon. It is only inherently true because humans have arbitrarily made it that way. Oh and 2+2 =4 is only true in a base ten system (the usual measurand). In a base 3 system it equals 11. So even thatās not an absolute.
Have you considered actually looking in the New Testament?
Colossians 3:22, āServants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.ā
If you donāt read the Epistle to the Colossians literally, what might the spiritual interpretation be?
Who determines which parts are true and which parts are not true?
On that we can all agree.
I find this statement to be extremely Islamophobic.
This is hate speech.
I donāt impose my morals on people who are long dead.
So 2 planets with 2 other planets is not 4 planets? This is only true because man has decided so?
No. I donāt believe in condemning homosexuals.
Yes because math has an unspoken assumption built in that it is all being done in a base 10 system. But humanity could have easily chosen another base system (3, 4, 5, etcā¦) that changes it completely. So 2+2 = 4 is true in a base 10 system (and a number of others).
You have the same set of things but the quantity is described differently.
So your assertion that 2+2 = 4 to argue the validity of absolute morality falls apart.
I donāt really expect you to be able to grasp this concept.

I still canāt get over that you think the Holocaust would be morally right, if the majority of people thought it so.
Is war moral?
Eating meat?
Fishing?
Selling and/or manufacturing cigarettes?
Whether I think something is moral is irrelevant to if morals are absolute or not.
Your world: the Holocaust is okay
pre-meditated murder is okay
Profits no matter the consequence is okay.
As long as the majority thinks itās okay.
My world: None of this is okay, Independent of peopleās decisions.
Is war moral? When defending oneself it is moral
Eating meat? I see no reason why itās not. If you think it is then, why?
Fishing? I see no reason why itās not. If you think it is then, why?
Your idiotic words and projections not mine.
More purely black and white thinking common to the low intelligence crowd.
Youāve implied this several times.
What are your assertions of this truth you so proclaim? Not just memes as a retort.
Not in the simplistic way you framed it.
Just because things like genocide fall into the set that is the intersection of most groupsā moral codes doesnāt mean morality as a whole is absolute.
Also have never stated āprofits above all elseā.
