What would you do?

IFIAYAQD!
Most denominations of the Christian faith consider the worst sin to be a denial of the Lord God after receiving sure knowledge of His existence.
The State considers treason and the offering of comfort to its enemies to be the worst sin.
My mom considers chewing ice with your mouth open to be the worst sin.

What about you?

The only moral absolute that I've found comes down to the Golden Rule - treat others the way you wish to be treated, because if your actions are consistently anti-social then you can't live in society with others (and no one is able to survive alone).

Even that one doesn't work; aristocracy (by whatever name) recognizes that the peons (by whatever name) are people, but feels that treating them as less than themselves is entirely acceptable -- even virtuous. I don't know that there is a moral absolute.

I wish there were...I'm glad there isn't...wish I couldn't see the value of the arguments. The world is far too messy for my taste, and yet not anywhere unstructured enough to suit me.
