That is precisely what you said. Do you think people can't read it for themselves?

Here's my original post:

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.”

Here is your Umm response, In FULL!

Actually, only god knows the absolute truth. Therefore everyone elses "truth" (their reality) IS actually only their subjective reality.

WackoBibleThumpers have no clue of this sadly... and therefore they think what is going through their mind is absolute truth... hence their ability to label others "good" or "evil"... and think THEY are able to make statements like "life begins at conception and any interuption is murder".

Here's a news flash for you genius. I am challenging the initial assertion on which the rest of your argument rests. I don't need to proceed to the next point until you've justified the first. You haven't dealt with that except to cry foul. There is no foul; you have built you castle in the sand. Your response was/is clearly, self defeating and contradictory, as I have claimed from the start.
