You don't seem to want to read anything I post instead you want to hammer at the same thing again and again.

Thre evil does not depend on my opinion. There evil is inside of them and I might have an opinion about it. Obviously whether or not I would call someone evil depends on my opinion, but my opinion can be wrong.

The evil of their action does not depend on my opinion either and it exists whether or not they are truly evil people. If I was really a relativist I would say that the action is evil to me, but may not be to them or something along those lines. That is not what I am saying. I am saying the action is evil, but may be motivated by other things besides an evil character. How is that at odds with "the absolutist doctrine"? And if it is, well that would only mean you would have to slap a new label on me. It doesn't change what I believe.

In your opinion can a person believe in any absolute moral truths and still be anything other then a moral absolutist?
