Christianity teaches an absolute truth. This makes ideas conflicting with it fall into the absolute wrong category.

I think I get what your saying but the problem is you are making it way more complicated than it has to be. The bible is chock full of absolute truth all the way from "1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. " to ...Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. "

Absolute Truth is God.
John 8:58
Jesus answered, "The truth is, I existed before Abraham was even born!"
John 14:6
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
John 18:37
"You say that I am a king, and you are right," Jesus said. "I was born for that purpose. And I came to bring truth to the world. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."
Isaiah 45:5
I am the LORD; there is no other God. I have prepared you, even though you do not know me, so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the LORD, and there is no other. I am the one who creates the light and makes the darkness. I am the one who sends good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things.
Open up, O heavens, and pour out your righteousness. Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together. I, the LORD, created them.
"Destruction is certain for those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot ever argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, 'Stop, you are doing it wrong!' Does the pot exclaim, 'How clumsy can you be!'

The absolute Truth is Jesus Christ.

If there is no such thing as an absolute truth, then there is no such thing as truth since it is never absolute. The bible does not speak of an absolute truth, Jesus said he is the truth so therefore there is no truth other then the person of Christ for he is the way and the life.

Sure, the absolute truth is that God is our Maker, the Creator of the Universe.
Any ideas conflicting with that DO fall into the absolutely wrong category.

yes. all assertions (provided the are specific enough) are either true or false (with perhaps the exception of paradoces). just because we can never be certain what the truth is, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
sadly, usually only christians believe in absolute truth (and are way too confident in their knwoledge of what that truth actually is). skeptics and non-theists in general (who usually aren't anymore intelligent than religious subscribers are) usually get confused by their lack of knowledge and assert that "if i don't know what the absolute truth is, then there must not be any." -- that, of course, is ludicrous though.
you said:
"Christianity teaches an absolute truth. This makes ideas conflicting with it fall into the absolute wrong category."
well,, IF christianity is treu, then ideas that conflict with it ARE absolutely false. of course,,,,, let's not kid ourselves here., christianity's not true.

There is no absolute truth, except in those things which fall into the jurisdiction of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the sciences. Those things are absolute by nature (i.e., 1+1 is always 2.), but moral truth is subjective from one person to the next. The things some religions claim are absolute truths are in fact subjective-- the Church is attempting to subversively push their values onto others.

The only absolute truth in my humble opinion is that everything changes.

lol christianity is so far from absolute truth. if it was a fact that their religion was the truth then why do they teach that you need faith? why not teach that you need to be educated? why do we need "FAITH" in jesus if we know that everything is the truth. (basically what im saying, is if something is THE TRUTH then why would u need FAITH for it? if you know for a fact a 10000 dollar bill exists why do you still need faith that it exists?
