How Moral Relativism Refutes itself:
If its true for everyone, then it's absolutely truth. The adherent contradicts himself since he must affirm absolute truth in order to deny it.
On the other hand if my Absolutism is only true for me, then why isn't your Relativism only true for you?
What Relativism says is that
All truth is relative, thereby making a universal, absolute statement; thereby affirming Absolutism while denying it!
HYPOCRISY: Relativism states that you can believe whatever you want, as long as it agrees with Relativism. Therefore, Relativism does the the same thing that it preaches against.
If its only true for the person saying it, then it's a meaningless statement destitute of any meaning to the hearer.
Relativism rejects the absolute nature of truth. Relativism is one of the most self-defeating beliefs known to man. Relativism defined: "All truth is relative."
If all truth is relative, as soon as you make that assertion, it either includes itself or excludes itself. Right?
If it includes itself, that means that statement is not always true either-that statement itself is relative and thus, a pointless or mindless contradiction.
If it excludes itself, it is making the possibility of absolutes in some instances, then it is implying that particular statement is an absolute while denying absolutes actually exist. This is called a double standard or self-centered statement.
Objective truth is assumed even when one says all truth is relative. You come to the conclusion, why make the statement to begin with that all truth is relative since it is a contradiction? Is to reject reality and conscience in some way, even Christ?
