I am not equivocating. I am stating my beliefs. You can label them what you will.

I believe that some things are absolutely morally wrong, and I believe that the sun will rise tomorrow and that I am typing a post to you and that I am a human on the planet earth and that logic is a useful tool that has some bearing on understanding reality. The certainty that I feel about all of these things is pretty much the same, but none of them are 100%. Maybe 99.999999999999999999999999999999%.

If this makes me an absolutist in your opinion fine. If it makes me a relativist then that's fine too. I'm not trying to change my beliefs to fit in a certain box. I'm just telling you what my beliefs are and you can put them in any box that suit your fancy.
