I am a moral relativist, and proud of it.
I totally, completely, and whole heartedly reject Moral Absolutism.
Moral Absolutism is the ethical belief that there are absolute standards against which moral questions can be judged, and that certain actions are right or wrong, regardless of the context of the act.
But, there is no such thing as moral absolutism.
Because all it really is is an excuse for tyranny.
Those who believe in absolute morality, in all it myriad forms, will not allow you to just say no to when the absolutist are exercising their authority.
So that means there is no individual rights of any sort.
If a person thinks you can not say no to them, that you can not defy them in any way, that you just have to sit down and obey without any questioning, then that is tyranny.
And I reject tyranny.
Absolute morality is just an excuse to hurt people.
And that is what you see with the political scene in America today.
liberals think you have to unquestionably obey them.
Conservatives think that you have to unquestionably obey them.
Religious people think that you have to unquestionably obey them.
And they all think it's okay to hurt you, no matter what your age, to keep you in line with their beliefs. They just love to use all kinds of fancy words like taking responsibility, intolerant against intolerance, and discipline.
So I reject the tyranny of absolute morality.
Completely and whole heartedly.
The concept just turns people into monsters than enjoy hurting people, is all it is.
Thank you.
