In how many different examples can you point out how your typical atheist is wrong about moral relativism?

Question

All I have to say is "Criminal Justice system" and..
moral relativism doesn't write the laws.

Think about it people.

Girl wonder: By "typical" I mean an angst ridden teen.

Answer 1

here is something to get you started:

The problem of negation also arises. If everyone with differing opinions is right, then no one is. Thus instead of saying "all beliefs (ideas, truths, etc.) are equally valid," one might just as well say "all beliefs are equally worthless".

yep, this should help your case.

Answer 2

You cannot be wrong about moral relativism. Understand that word first, then ask your question. Keeping in mind "relativity" during a theistic debate, one must first obtain an open mind, which you obviously have not. Religion (atheism included) is much like a million bees on a stained glass window of a church. They can't move to other panes, so looking inside, some will see a red church and swear that the church is red inside. Others will be looking through another pane and swear that the church is yellow inside. Still, others will be on the metal part of the window and not believe that there is anything inside. Open your mind and realize that there is in fact something inside, but you can't be definite as to what color it is. Who is to say who is right and who is wrong when you don't open your mind to the doors of enlightenment? If you can't see that other people's faiths (again, including atheism) are attempting to reach the same goals as yours, you are blind, my friend. I, myself, am stuck on the metal part, not being able to see inside the church at all. This often starts an argument with those who scream, "how can you not see it!?" Religion is just like this, and those who spread hate such as you cannot realize that morality shifts and changes every day from person to person. Nobody is "wrong" to what they think, because they are entitled to think it, through the obvious "free will" that we are given in the traditional judeo-christian values drilled into our minds for thousands of years. By calling a religion flat-out "wrong", you are no better than those empires of the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, and no better than those who killed Jesus.

Answer 3

Ah, nothing like a typical Christian who is uneducated as to the meaning of moral relativism, and is posting questions about it...

Your "typical" atheist is about 10% of atheists.... However, your demonstrated lack of intelligence and understanding is representative of 98% of Christians. Shame shame....

Answer 4

Since you have no idea what "moral relativism" means, you cannot possibly point out how a typical atheist is wrong.
Try not to give yourself airs ok? Questions like this only serve to illustrate how ignorant you really are...

Answer 5

I think there can be rather coherent versions of moral relativism (even if they wouldn't use that term), such as Richard Rorty's. But for average people, there can be all kinds of inconsistencies in their moral thinking, atheist and Christian alike.

Answer 6

Morals as God has determined them. If God is not real all and any efforts to determine morals by His standard are vain. If God is real all efforts to deny Him or go contrary will not make Him cease to exist.

Answer 7

Typical atheist? That is pretty narrowminded and unfair for the whole community of atheist don't you think?

Answer 8

First define a "typical atheist".

Angst ridden teen? That is not a typical atheist.

Answer 9

Read Hume and Nietzsche so you have some idea what you are talking about. Then re-ask this question.

Answer 10

You cannot correct someone into a belief. Your statement itself is wrong. Just because someone has differing ideas than you do, that does not make them wrong and you right.
