I don't want to get into ad-hominems; but, it would be nice if you were to stop explaining my inner thoughts before I explain them on my own. I understand your interest in making your points.

For example, you accusation that I am a liberal. Maybe you are the one who can be seen more as the liberal if the meaning of it is to drift away from original teachings. Jesus did teach individual responsibility, did he not?
.
It is an interesting point of our present time that we stand on certain deep frames regarding the issues we're discussing. The very word, liberal, is deeply set to mean persons that have drifted away from time honored values and who has loose ideas about reality. So, when we identify someone as a liberal, that automatically conjures up a vision of some weak spined person who is, more or less, up for the grabs of what ever is some popular deviation of the moment.
.
But, I think you're on track as far as looking for clues to understand how we develop morality.
.
Generally, I am thinking denominationally challenged people come to the table with such a strong bias of what is and is not true that it is almost impossible to have a decent look see at the facts with them.
.
For you to go against your dogmatic view of reality means you would almost lose your grasp on reality. In fact, you might.
.
Sometimes, such a strong view of reality is arrogant and annoying.
