This statement is contradictory -- if you think about it long enough:

>> I am pretty confident there is no such thing as absolute truth<<

Of course -- absolute is redundant. You don't believe truth doesn't exist. Your behavior would be erratic without such a conviction.

e.g. What color is your car? Bob says red, I say maroon -- but we can look at the spectrum of light reflected is definite ...

e.g. Quantum can't be an excuse for moral equivocation ... some things are just plain wrong ... and you know it whether you'd admit it publicly or not.

Seducing your neighbors wife ... lying to take advantage of someone ... hating someone ... one doesn't have to equivocate. The thing is: It's easy for any one of us to say "absolutely" these things are wrong when SOMEONE else does them. <g>
