:::"''It isn't you who has decided anything, rather your fear of god's wrath that's made the decision for you''". On the contrary, I have ''decided'' to do what God would like, rather than do something for a selfish reason of it being something that ''I'' would like.

:::You say that the "right to exist" comes from the notion that you don't have a right to decide how you will affect it, yet by saving the girl you ''have'' decided to affect things. Yes, throwing your hands up is relativism, but the opposite of relatives is absolutes, and absolutes only come from God. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:12, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes exactly, you have decided what god would like. Other people can have a different understanding, people such as Adolf Hitler who decided that god thought it was right that he should kill all jews, as they were "christ killers". Or the young man who shot a doctor who practised abortions because "god would have wanted me to do it". The fact that you have to interpret a book to decide your morals means that several different people can gain different moral codes from the same book, while there are very few people who would disagree that wanton killings would lead to society fracturing.
