I got a preacher to say, "That's BULLSHIT!" in front of 2 other preachers

On a beach, in Maui at sunset, when I argued with him about Morality.
He said "MORALITY is relative." I asjed, is it really?
Isnt morality absolute?
Einstein was against relativism when it came to morality. He said that empathy should be enough to guide our moral decisions.
He said, "When you abandon your wife abd kids, that's bullshit!"
I had to laugh and agree, the guy was no moral model, nir did he ever claim to be, but he was wise, nonetheless. However if he were really wise he would have kept E=mc^2 on the down low and not shared it wuth every barbarian on the planet.
He laughed and looked at the humpbacks breaching in front of tge womb of the Earth, held up his glasss of really great wine, and enjoyed the kids launching off of the tops of waves wuth the spray in their faces.

Lots of preachers cuss in private.
How do you get an 80 year old grandma to say "Fuck"?
Have another 80 year old grandma yell "Bingo!"

If you've ever been in a Bingo hall full of old ladies, you'd hear:

"BINGO!!!"

Then a soft murmuring chorus in unison...

"shhhhhiiiiitttt..."

Brigham Young cursed, used profanity and/ or vulgarity (yes, there is a difference) regularly from the pulpit in his MORmON sermons, but come to think of it, everytime a MORmON refers to the Pres of LDS Inc as a prophet or refers to an LDS Inc executive as an apostle, that is egregious profanity, and when MORmONS claim that that they will become gods because of their secret handshakes that they will not mention, then that is blasphemy as well, as being really stupid.

OK.
Thing is, he's right (about morality).
Frankly, that's more surprising to me than him cussing...:)

Agreed. It's weird to hear a story about a preacher (presumably christian) admit that morality is relative.
