Absolute Relativism:
No, my friends my quandarizing was not farfetched. Consider that Cliff Walker wrote:

“I use the terms good and evil and right and wrong as shorthand, for the purpose of discussion, to describe how many people think. My current understanding of reality does not recognize any intrinsic good or evil.” [italics in original]

This statement is of crucial importance for various reasons. For instance, we must logically read “My current understanding of reality does not recognize any intrinsic good or evil” as “As an atheist I know that all we have in the way of ethics is personal opinion—what I referred to as ‘how many people think’—but I will use the terms good and evil and right and wrong anyhow since without them I could not besmirch the Bible, God, Christians, or religiosity in general. Thus, I will do so even while admitting to having no logical reasons but merely a convenient way to express my personal prejudices.”
