2. let's try to match what they call it with your list

For example:

Greed = stewardship over money

Opression = knowing one's place (Can also be used for "Bigotry")

theological intolerance = faith

[Nimrod]

4. Not a bad idea

Violence = Righteous fury
Murder = God's wrath
Brainwashing of Children = Showing them the way
Lying = Spreading the Lord's Truth (note they don't say WHICH Lord's)
Bigotry = Casting out the unbelievers
Willful ignorance = Faith and/or righteousness

Not bad y'self. :)

Of course, violence, murder, theft, false witness, opression, lying, and fraud could all be covered under "doing the Lord's work".

5. I vote my moral values

anti-war, pro-choice, public education, public housing, labor rights, anti-Bush!

So I wonder about those polls--did they have a list of moral values tht people were referring to? Or were they just asking if people were voting based on their personal moral values.

If anyone asked me, I might have answered that I voted my moral values. Which are waaaaaaay left.

7. You make a good point. On the last Zoby poll I did,

I marked "refused' on those types of questions.

Unfortunately, the right seems to have hijacked the word "values".

[Nimrod]

8. People like to forget

That moral values are extremely personal and tailored to the individual. That's why I get this odd twich in my right eye everytime anyone anything about morality as a governing force. It's a 100% false concept.

All you have to remember is cold-blooded murder is an extremely moral act to millions of people.

15. uxoricide = justice

marital rape = conjugal duty

incest = creating thoroughbreds

animal abuse = Man's god-given dominance over all other creatures
