You are talking disingenuous/uncomprehending nonsense. And your question is based on the gimmick that you are pretending that you haven't read anything I have said to you for over two years.
Here's a question for you about an action we agree on: you have revealed that you believe it would be morally justifiable for you to kill a man who had raped your daug ...[text shortened]... e. What "authority" and "absolute truths" do you think back up your moral stance on this matter?
Moral relativism is based upon the assumption that there are no absolute moral truths which means everyone makes up their own moral truth. Within the context of moral absolutism God is the final authority on what is right and wrong. He has instilled within each of us a moral conscience and given us the ability to reason morally.

If you believe that those who disagree with you are wrong in their assessment you cannot be a moral relativist. How can anyone be wrong about anything if moral relativism is true?
What "final authority" and "absolute moral truths" do you think back up your moral stance on this matter?

You have no idea what kind of brainwashing occurred at the place...

A man murders another man - morally wrong
Same same murders same man because god told him to do it - morally ok
Moral relativism in action.

everyone gets brainwashed, I came from a devoutly non religious family only went to church for weddings and funerals, my wife on the other hand is a fully paid up member of the RC godsquad , how we made this marriage work for 45 years is beyond me.

The juxtaposition stands; address it directly if you wish.
