Greetings Visionaires -
I stated:
"I believe that what Douglas Wilson means by "relative moralism" is better
defined as situational ethics."
To which Ted "I have no last name" responded:
"Please Tom, do explain what "situational ethics" is, in terms of Wilson's
beliefs, which you appeared to claim to understand."
Mr. "I have no last name" - I do not claim anywhere in my 16-word post that
I understand Douglas Wilson's beliefs. Only he can explain his beliefs.
As far as "situational ethics" is concerned:
situational ethics - The philosophy that there are overriding ethical
maxims, but that sometimes it is necessary to set them aside in particular
situations to fulfill a higher law or principle.

Now, if you will excuse me I have some posting to do.
