Actually, you have a good point. Perhaps a Supreme Being _IS_ the only
absolute.
If one were not to acknowledge the existence of such, then there would be no
absolutes.
I can live with that (atheism). I, however, do not concur, but I do have a
question for non-absolutists--From where does the desire to be moral (good)
come? Is it merely utilitarian?
