lol, sweet I love raptor Jesus.

on topic though.

I can see what you're saying. I think it was Kant that said all rationalism leads to nihilism (and then advocated abandoning rationalism in favor of revelation and faith), but I just think that's silly for any number of reasons. But for the intents of this discussion I will say that not all that don't agree with objective faith based dogma morality necessarily ascribe to nihilism either. Their rationalistic morality deems that liberty and protection are the moral zeitgeist to be followed rather than that of Christianity that uses biblical dogma that has evolved over time to be the moral zeitgeist to be followed.

It leads to a sort of reductio ad absurdum in the same way being anti-bigot does (being prejudiced against all prejudiced people). However a certain common sense kicks in when you believe in something like anti-bigotry even if it is a bizarre circular self damning concept. If the belief is "Liberty and protection for all" then that doesn't mean "Let's throw in pedophiles and goat sodomy too!" even though the reductio ad absurdum may lead to that end. The argument for gay marriage isn't an argument against moral objectivity as you seem to propose. It's an argument in favor of a different kind of objective morality that you personally don't ascribe too.
