If that were true, then the history of Western civilization would show
some moral consistency. Instead, it shows the same pattern: people killing,
raping, and plundering in the name of their beliefs. The Crusaders slaughtered
innocent Muslims because their "transcendent moral system" defined Muslims
as subhuman. Same with the religious zealots that burned tens of thousands
of "witches" alive.
You don't have a leg to stand on.
