At what point exactly did I deny the existence of a "Gauge of Morality". My arguement has nothing to do with the lack of a gauge. Personally I find no need to compare myself with Hitler, and I don't, although, if I were to compare I sincerely hope that I am more Moral than Hitler.

Your not antagonizing me I appreciate the conversation, and yet I find nothing in my arguement for Morality that doesn't make sense. Its logically sound.

There isn't anything contrtadictory in what I said. Take first and foremost that I said "if you insist on comparing" and then began my arguement. My arguement was pretty simple, there is morality, it has nothing to do with God, it has to do with the evolution of humanity. Gods own Humanity, if I may use that as something similar (though certainly not the same) to morality, has been awfully tough sometimes. Humanity has had rough going of it too, even more so with Morality. But, Humanities Morality has evolved, like I said.
