...what does that say about all philosophies and religious texts that believe in universal truth ?
What of the notion of Love and Hate conquers all ?

Wow. I have just spent an interesting few minutes after clicking on your avatar.
Really, I have to wonder why you are on YA when quite frankly you should be on the Mensa page! No kidding.
Not sure I understand half your questions (havent been this confused since I tried to read a biography on Albert Einstein) but I will give it a go...
In my humble opinion, relative truth is cancelled out by faith. Faith has to override intellectual thoughts and ideas and 'relative truth' is one of those.
You have heard that intelligence can sometimes be thought of as a curse? Well, in religious cases this can often be true. For example the Bible instructs that we must have child-like faith. For an educated person who is (usually) quite cynical this is difficult to say the least!
Hate conquers all? Havent heard that one. But love conquering all? Sure. And love covers a multitude of sins too.

All truths are not necessrily relative.
The truth is the truth - even if no one believes it.
The emotions love and hate do not conquer all but they initiate many actions.
