If I might add my own opinion:

When someone holds to this other cultural belief about truth, it eliminates their ability to discern difference between Mother Theresa and Ted Bundy, because, each of their own truths were correct and truth for them! When you take this view of truth, you have lost your ability to discern between Hitler and Billy Graham... because all people's truth is equal.

All this adds up to Secular Humanism which espouses Situational Ethics and Values Clarification... or rather, no values at all, no moral character or compass; "If it feels good, do it."

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

Different values do not equal no values. Using critical thinking and moral reasoning to assess a situation for meaning does not equal a lack of a moral compass. I'm not sure it's even possible to have "no values". I'm quite certain it's possible to hold values which others do not. But that is no values void, and to assume such or to assume that a secular humanist would choose the "feel good" over the "do good" is a rather narrow and rigid view, imo.
