Yes! It's called THE WORD OF GOD (the Bible), and specifically, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
If "there are NO absolutes", as some believe, then NO ONE is accountable for ANYTHING, and we can ALL just do AS WE PLEASE, regardless of HOW it affects others! There would be NO "accountability", no PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!
-Do you see the error and EXTREME flaws in such thinking? Do you see how CHAOTIC and OUT OF CONTROL our whole world would be with ABSOLUTE STANDARDS OF RIGHT AND WRONG? If there are NO absolutes, then PLEASE do not become upset or feel VIOLATED when someone LIES to you, CHEATS on you, STEALS from you, HURTS you, DOES YOU WRONG, etc. Because there is NO "right and wrong"!!! Do you see what I mean???
There HAS to be a standard of "right and wrong" for EVERY ONE! And by that, I mean the SAME standard. And since NONE of us, as humans, are perfect, and NONE of us has ABSOLUTE knowledge & power, then we need someone GREATER than the human race to accomplish that! And THAT is our Creator, the LORD JESUS CHRIST! He sets the standard, because HE is Almighty God! We either OBEY AND BE BLESSED, or SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES of our disobedience and BE PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY! "The punishment must fit the crime."
The problem is, we ALL have a nature (a desparately wicked heart that is deceitful above ALL things- Jeremiah 17:9) that HATES God and does NOT want to obey Him as He commands: PERFECTLY! That's called "sin", breaking His law! LYING, STEALING, LUSTING, CURSING, HATING OTHERS, DISHONOURING PARENTS, REBELLING AGAINST AUTHORITY, BLASPHEMING GOD, etc. In essence, living to please OURSELVES rather than OUR CREATOR. And He declares that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
That is the message of Christmas! He came into this sinful world and DIED so we might LIVE! But we must BELIEVE that and RECEIVE HIM! Jesus PERFECTLY obeyed God's law and fulfiled ALL of its requirements that He might BE OUR SUBSTITUTE as the payment for our sins. Now, what we must do is TRUST IN HIM! That is the message of Christmas!
"No absolutes"??? Then PLEASE don't contradict yourself (those who BELIEVE that philosophy) by telling ME that I'm "wrong" for telling YOU that YOU ARE WRONG to believe that! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Given consideration to every little factor that is involved, not very often. Also, keeping in mind, what is absolutely wrong to some, may be accepted to others.

Yes, Im sure. There exists right and wrong. It's like black or white, pros and cons. That's why there are rebels in the entire world because they believe on what's right and what is wrong.

In certain cases yes of course (murder for example, rich people being rewarded with yet more millions etc) but often the middle ground needs to be looked at, as things are very rarely black and white.

Yes. It's absolutely wrong to rape a baby's eye sockets.
I challenge anyone to give me a situation where that would not be wrong.

Yes there is.
It comes from within you, not what others think or ask of you.
If I wake and feel guilty, we all know that feeling. I try my best to figure out why, Once I realize it, I make my amends, that is the next right thing to do.
We all know inside what is going to hurt and what is going to make others feel good. That is what you listen to.
Every day, every situation, ASK yourself. No one else. "What is the next right thing"? If you listen you will know. Easy. Very easy

very rarely, except in the case of fact... and even sometimes they can be proven wrong if more information is gathered that could not have been foreseen....
There are various shades of gray, particularly because most things are not proven, and most topics are completely subjective and open to interpretation...

Nothing is absolute in this world, except God. Everything is relative to one another.
