------------cut text, but it's worth reading if you haven't--------------------

> If you met me, you wouldn't think of me as a hard-nosed, rigid, Bible-pounding moralist. I dislike friction and avoid serious disagreements with people when possible. I also make an effort to understand why a person does something that seems wrong, and I know that the morass of motives and concerns and personal wounds in which we live seem hopeless to straighten out. It's much simpler to go with the doctrine of subjective right and wrong, because the complexity of our lives seems to preclude adopting any system more rigid than that. But that's simply not an option for me, or anyone else who seriously believes in a God who has revealed himself to the world the way the God of the Bible has done. I can be gentle and understanding towards people who do wrong, but I can't pretend that what they do is not wrong. That's the best way I know how to explain it.

Iss, I couldn't agree with you more. It's good to know other people share my same beliefs.
