Yep. You got it.
He sees thorough us gang! The jig is up.
I need to move on from this. He's right about his moral relativism definition, I believe... but the rest, he misses the mark and my point. He and his likeminded folk never ask the question why something is wrong if God is not the source of that understanding. It ultimately comes down to their own subjective feelings. And, that is so incredibly dangerous for any society to take on as its basis of morality. And, they errantly assume that they are morally superior because they don't need God to tell me what's right and wrong. They grew up in a society influenced by Judeo-Christian morality, they accept some of that, discard what they don't like, and then tell us how morally superior they are and how screwed up we are.
You can get a headache in these threads. Have fun gang.

I can't help it you don't know the definitions of words. Moral relativism is basically whatever the majority of a culture believes in that's what's morally correct.
So that would be like saying Muslims are morally correct for making their women walk around wearing trash bags and 130° weather
Empathy is saying hey you should stop treating women like that because it's immoral

Romans 2:14-15
New International Version
14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.
There is the basic moral law or the law written on the hearts that act within free will to try and restrain the humans evil desires.
But beyond the basics you learn from the Bible. Empathy may have you feel sad for a starving kitten but empathy may also have you feel sad for a pregnant woman who wants an abortion but can't get one. You feel empathy for the woman but lack empathy for the unborn child.
It isn't a concrete guide when humans are involved. Also you are taught on what is appropriate empathy.
Should you care more for a zoo gorilla or the child potentially about to be torn apart? Our society debated this.
Should you care for the life of the elderly or euthanize them when they get to be sick and weeks, months or a few years near the end of life? Our society debates this.
What is appropriate empathy? Some Islamic regions show empathy towards their own people but to others they are treated as property.
If you do not have a standard outside of yourself then everything is subjective. Especially if we are just survival of the fittest with no ultimate judge then who cares how I treat others as long as my desires are obtained.

Bottom line is this: Same-sex marriage is immoral. It is sinful. It is a big error on the part of our government here in the States. And, I refuse to be forced to celebrate it in any way, shape or form. Such is tyranny.
Folks, the secularist and the believer / political conservative have two definitions of freedom. That is our problem.

I'm trying to figure out how is this meant as bad? Anytime anyone votes they are voting in the beliefs and agenda of the individual. For example, I want stronger 2nd Amendment protections, so I vote in people who will legislative stronger protections. Those protections if they become law will be enforced on everyone. This is normal.

Unless 'democracy' goes their way, it's not a legitimate democracy. Get with it man!
For example, when Trump encouraged his followers to pick up a weapon and get involved in the war for this country.
Oh, my bad, that wasn't Trump, it was MSNBC's Tiffany Cross who urges liberals to 'pick up a weapon and get involved' in 'war' for democracy

MSNBC routinely warns against the rhetoric of the right encouraging violence from right wing extremists. However, they have no issue with leftists encouraging violence from liberals on the left.

Because they follow their prophet, Saul Alinsky, who tells his fellow radicals to accuse the other side of what they themselves are doing.
"Trump and his followers are fascists!" As they run through the streets terrorizing all who disagree with them, because no fascist movement's ever used such tactics. Nope.
