Yes, and while I am sure I know what your answer is, I wonder, if there truly are transcendental rights and wrongs, then how are we to know what they are? Are we to assume that every concievable situation is addressed in the holy texts, i.e. the holy texts say that thou shalt not turn cats into vases; or, alternatively, that there are many foundational principles - or, Commandments, if you like - and other allegories, that we are to apply and analogize to those situations that have not been explicity addressed. If the latter, then is it really transcendental if it is to be analogized by humans who clearly add subjectivity to the equation. And how then will we resolve the differences in interpretation that inevitably result of individual perspective. Ultimately we are left without anything transcendant, rather, we have subjective determinations and moral relativity.
