Blame the Jews........
And while we are on the subject of the Jews, don't get all annoyed with me about the universal moral code, you can blame your ancestors. They were the ones that first discovered it (or made it up depending on your point of view).
The Jews said that this idea of different Gods and different morals for different people was B.S. There is just one God and there is one universal moral code. If it is immoral to have sex with your mother in Judea it is immoral to have sex with your mother in Rome.
And like most people who discover the truth, they have been paying for it ever since. Like Einstein said, great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. First the Romans, then the Inquisitors and then the Nazis did not like hearing that they were violating the universal moral code.
The Jews have also been arguing what is in the moral code for thousands of years. But just because Jewish scholars disagree on what the moral code says, or because they think it is very complicated (have you seen the size of the rule book and the commentary?) does not mean they think it is relative. They believe it is universal.
When the idea of a universal moral code was created, my ancestors were running around Northern European forests with bones through their noses and were throwing rocks at each other. So don't blame me.
