The point I'm trying to make to you is that 'relativism' does NOT necessarily mean you give equal weight, equal Rightness to opposing ideas.
It means you recognise that they exist.
And what you, now, judge to be Right and Wrong may not correspond to what others, now and at other times, would call by those labels. Like it or not.

By that definition a lot of people who consider themselves and usually are considered by others to be moral absolutists would be moral relativists.
