Re: True colours
But if I am right then they are wrong and it is not bigotted to say so.
And what if you are not right?
And I am right therefore it is not bigotry.
It is interesting to note that you have declared yourself an omniscient being.

Which is it. Is using that technique ethical and proper, or isn't it?
The evangelical Christian sees it as unethical not to provide the assistance (i.e. salvation) that this person needs.
The JW has a similar view from his perspective. But the two disagree, because they disagree over what is required for salvation. Thus each sees his own action as ethical, and that of the other as unethical.
This is a clear example of moral relativism.
It seems to me that you (ramoss) are asking for a morally absolute judgement, and that is not possible.

Here iano openly admits to his own moral relativism, though I don't doubt that he will continue to deny it in other threads.
