24. I voted no, but only because the poll is flawed. See post 23 below
Morality is not an invention of mankind. If that were true, then any act would be as objectively moral as any other act. Is that your position? Then torturing, raping and murdering a child is objectively no more "evil" than helping child to find his mother. It's all a matter of personal preference, and no moral code is better than any other.

Preposterous and obviously untrue. Do you really believe those things?

No, there must be an OBJECTIVE standard of morality. The only possible source of that objective standard is the Creator of the Universe, because any standard invented by mankind is by definition subjective.
