@imperialscum, I haven't interacted with you for some time, so to read this makes me wonder if you always missed the point so completely, or if this is a lone instance.  I don't mean to be rude, but I think you were trying to reply to something between the lines, but didn't read the lines themselves.

Well the most important rule of forum warfare is to state your point in 2-3 sentences. If you write a big reply as you did, with many side-points, it is very likely that your main point will be either lost, not understood or even ignored.

That is just a friendly tip from a veteran. :)

 This was my point, which I stated in the following sentences, or even perhaps just in the underlined:

In other words, morals are not universal.  There is no supreme law that says that murder is wrong, that human equality is right.  Not unless there is a Supreme Being.  Otherwise, those values are actually just accepted by the majority of society.  Being moral in one society may be immoral in another.

I hope you use the term warfare in a bit of hyperbole.  I do not wish to cause contention, though I debate passionately.  I really had no side point.  I just used a lot of words to convey my point, which I summarized in the above quote.
