There is a flaw in your moral relativism.
I qualified my comment by saying that it is "an entirely reasonable moral position". If you disagree, you should refute that line of reasoning, rather than attacking a straw man of moral relativism and making highly offensive comparisons to terrorism, the holocaust, or child abuse.
You went on to say that "We should not be in the business of making such a moral judgment". But determining whether or not a moral position is reasonable does involve making a moral judgment.
I don't think it's necessary to make any moral judgments here. There is a consensus, it seems, that Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. Even you yourself agree that the article as it stands is not a good one. But you think it could be cleaned up. I don't, not without fundamentally changing the article in ways which would no longer warrant the same title.
If someone cares to create a good article for the one in that location, please do so, and let us know that you have. Maybe then my opinion might be changed.
