You can make absolute statements all you want but it doesn't make them true. The fact is that if there is a god moral relativism is wrong, and until you prove that there isn't a god its actually you that is irrational for insisting that moral relativism is the only rational position.

Moral relativism is a rational position, but it is not the only one.

PS - MarcioSMG also makes a great point. Moral relativism is still a subjective set of morals, so what you're really saying is that morals have no place in the white house. I'm pretty sure thats not what you meant to say though.

The burden of proof is on you. I can't prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist, does that mean he does or even "might"?

So you're going to just ignore the fact that you contradicted yourself and move to another argument? Only this time you're making sure the burden of proof is squarely placed on the other side.

Tough luck for you though, because the burden of proof is always on the person making declarations of who is right and who is wrong. I'm not telling you your view is wrong, while you are telling the overwhelming majority of the world's population their view is wrong. Talk about self-importance.

 

 

I studied psychology. The statistical norm does not constitute normality. If tomorrow on every began showing the symptoms of schizophrenia would that suddenly make it "normal"? Saying that you believe in God, an entity lacking any foundation in physical reality or logic is no different than telling your psychiatrist that you think parasites are spreading underneath your skin. They're both delusions. One happens to be a popular delusion which is why it doesn't warrant psychiatric treatment as another one does.
