Armchair Critic,

<<If you possess at least half a brain and a conscience then you should know it's wrong to have sex with children. Were you not a child once? Do you not know to treat others the way you'd like to be treated?>>

I was demonstrating the logical consequences of the ethics of relativism. If I choose what is right for me and I'm the arbiter of right and wrong for me, I must allow all of the people in the universe to pursue the value system that is right for them.

I gave paedophilia as one example of a relativist who chooses to have sex with children. If anyone supports relativism he/she has no grounds for opposing gross wrongs (based on a biblical view of ethics).

I have a full brain and am thinking logically about the consequences of an anything goes morality. You don't seem to get it.
