All morals are ambiguous. For example, where one individual may be very sure that life begins at conception based on their religious and political beliefs, another may find life itself to be an erroneous concept based on a superficial separation of organic and inorganic materials.

You are the problem with this nation. Only fools can not discern the inhumanity of abortion for any reason at any stage. In your sick selfish world, a people could condone any inhumanity as did the Germans against the Jewish people.

Side: No

"To have viewpoint A is foolish. You have viewpoint A and therefore you are a fool. I think viewpoint A is evil therefore you are a nazi."

You fail at debate.

Just God awful, truly.

There are Grey areas and there are not grey areas. Liberals want to be the ones who control your mind & define where the grey areas are. In their ideology almost all things are Grey areas EXCEPT when it comes to their personal ideology of Global warming, Gun control, animal rights, Abortion rights, Gay marriage, etc. They will tell you there is no Grey area for these issues & if you disagree, you are homophobes, deniers, women haters, animal haters, etc. They have no respect or compassion for people who do not agree with their staunch no Grey area dogma.

When it comes to moral values, the Liberal declares it is all grey and the anything goes no fault America is where we should be. Liberals can not even define morals and would prefer the word is stricken from our language.

I would upvote your comment 50 times if I could . That is so true how liberals warp everything into a grey and nothing is right . And if you disagree you are and a disgusting human being and you are not allowed your opinion .

As a nihilist who rejects morality in its entirety and wishes we could do away with it altogether, I find the notion that liberals share that view laughable. Liberals believe in a morality, it is just a different morality than yours; some tend towards intolerance of other moralities just as people of your political persuasion do. The vast majority of both liberals and conservatives are pro-moralistic, they just do not agree on what is actually moral. If you want an amoralist to be angry and alarmed at... look up a nihilist.

Side: No

This is the ideology of Democrats. Can you imagine a culture where anything goes because we don't all agree? Can you imagine that kind of a sick culture where we can no longer say that certain things are immoral? Sleeping around and one night stands are irresponsible when you get pregnant & expect others to pay to support you & the Baby you created. If you want to live irresponsibly, don't expect us to pay for it. We will pay for the Baby but NOT YOU!

The Democrats will tell you not to judge others while they live off your back. We are all suppose to look the other way while these irresponsible dead beats constantly make hideous choices costing us all billions of dollars.

Side: Yes

Under the no fault Democrat ideology, there is no longer any irresponsible behavior that can be condemned for the harm it does to our society & the harm it does to the tax payers. When Democrats declared war on our Christian heritage in this nation(with the lie of Separation of Church and state), our moral values that most people agreed with (atheists or not) disappeared.

Our nation is going bankrupt and Democrats still refuse to admit the harm they have created. They spend their time race bating and pandering to irresponsibility with easy social program subsidies no matter how many times you get pregnant, take illegal drugs, etc. and run down to the tax payer for charity.

Side: Yes

For instance, telling a lie so you don't hurt another person's feelings would be a grey area.

Morals, values, standards and laws are created by humans, and as such are imperfect enough to allow about 99% gray. These things are clearly based in consensus of opinion -vs- differing opinion.

So called facts are based on observations we make, given our ability to perceive reality. These so called facts, are then still, a consensus of opinion.

From an anti-theological view, religious doctrine is just another human construct which embodies morals, values, standards and even law in some cases.

To summarize:

Theological beliefs contain NO gray.

All else is 99% gray, and the gray is defined by differing opinion.

Side: Yes

Perceived theological belief holds no grey area. The perception of the theologically inclined, however, has no actual bearing as to whether those beliefs are so clear-cut in actual practice.

Side: No

To believers in theology, no gray areas exist. Right is right and wrong is wrong. This is the only area in which the answer is NO.

Side: No

Within the theological view, what is the moral status of mundane daily activities?

I walked down the street and bought a snack. Reasonable people wouldn't argue that it's wrong, but can you argue that it is the right thing to do? Is it something I should do?

Side: Yes

You haven't done anything wrong. No religious person would even bw upset. It's when you break what we, or other religious people, refer to as good. I'm sure the debate question was wondering if there were grey areas in actual moral situations.

Side: No
