Moral Absolutes

This is Dennis Prager's latest column titled, Moral absolutes: Judeo-Christian values: Part XI posted on the townhall.com website.

An excerpt:
Nothing more separates Judeo-Christian values from secular values than the question of whether morality -- what is good or evil -- is absolute or relative. In other words, is there an objective right or wrong, or is right or wrong a matter of personal opinion?

In the Judeo-Christian value system, God is the source of moral values and therefore what is moral and immoral transcends personal or societal opinion.

This is a definite good read that clarifies much of the confusion in secular opinion- and feelings-based concept (or lack of it) of right and wrong. Great observation also on why today's university is the most morally confused institution in America.
