Quoting scriptures from a book that not everyone believes to be the word
of God will probably not convince anyone that you're trying to convince.

Indeed, all of the above precepts are based on the assumption that 
morality, sin, and so on can be absolutely defined.

All one needs to do, then, in order to make the word of God 
of none effect is to claim that morals are relative.

It's convenient for liberals to do so, and I really don't think you
can expect anyone who has taken the relative morality garbage,
hook, line, and sinker, to ever agree with you.

It's a beautiful thing.... :-)
