Holding down an 8 day old baby & chopping off bits of it is.......normal?

Moral absolutism died during the Inquisition & the subsequent
Catholic-Protestant wars.

To reprise:

Do you accept Jesus Christ as the son of God, your Lord & saviour?

If not then you are a blasphemer & are thus evil (& indeed can be
executed in a variety of manners unless you "recant your evil").

People have this insane notion that moral relativism is a new thing. It is
as old as moral absolutism.
