Translation: One man's meat is another man's poison. Your meat is good for you. My meat is good for me. My meat is valid for me, Your meat is valid for you. There are many religious/non-religious ways of being human and they all have equal validity to their respective adherents. No religion has the absolute truth; they are all relative.

Yes.
However that doesn't mean that at some point we can't change and share in the same meat.

Yes, you are correct. In fact, it is when a religion begins to identify itself as absolute truth that it becomes destructive and dangerous (fanatical). Destructive in the sense that the true identity of the religion is distorted, and dangerous in the sense that people around it wind up prematurely dead.

You might be true in saying this ,

[No religion has the absolute truth; they are all relative.]
Except for those who believe in the absolute truth of observable reality and who don't believe in any religious belief at all
The observable truth of reality make all religious beliefs false if
its not consistent with what we can observe because the universe is greater then any individuals belief

If the meat is poison, it is poisonous to all people.
So it is with sin. Sin is the same if you do it or if I do it!
Not seeing God for who he is, is the ultimate sin. He has shown Himself to you in nature and through His people but you choose to continue in your sinful ways, not acknowledging Him. I Choose to have a relationship with Him. There can only be one truth, because there is only one God. Truth is not relative, it does not change! That is deception.

It is your God-given right to believe or disbelieve as you choose. Tolerance and respect of others' belief system is paramount for harmonious living.

as long as your religion/irreligion is not-destructive (murder, human sacrafice etc) it's equally as valid as anyone elses

You are right!
Just don't try to make me eat your meat.
Oh, dear that didn't come out *at all* the way I meant!
