Thanks - and FR is a great place to find people of like mind, and spar with those who differ. And then there's the fun of troll-zotting!

Seriously, though, I want to see people who believe in the existence of God and are sincerely trying to follow His instructions see each other as brothers, even if their particular sects of Christianity differ, and even if they are not Christian. The moral absolutes in every monotheist religion are essentially the same, and even those which are not strictly speaking monotheist, such as Buddhism, Sikhism, and Taoism. They all condemn illicit sex, especially same sex acts, and all the basic sins. Although I disagree with the basic premise of Buddhism (for instance) - that no one really exists and there is no God (! what a basis for a philosophy!) at least the teachings of Buddhism have strong ethical dos and donts, and I'd rather live in a Buddhist country than a Muslim one, for instance.

[I know the Koran also advocates the same essential moral absolutes, but I am so ****** at Islam right now I don't want to include it in my list.]

Since moral relativists want to dismantle ALL traditional morality, which is founded on religion, moral relativists (and their subsets, such as Darwinists, communists, socialists, hedonists, atheists, secularists, homosexualists, and so on) are the real opposition. Not people of different religions.
