Can it be proven or disproven, that none of this is relative to what one believes?

If one subscribes to relativism, an American society that says that certain acts are homophobis, racist, sexist, bigotted, and so on would not be superior to an American society which says that those same acts aren’t homophobic, racist, sexist, bigotted, etc.

If the relativist wants to say that ceratin things aren’t relative, then they must abandon relativism in favor of objectivism.

One thing you all must understand when dealing with someone that is inculcated with postmodernist/relativist thinking is that they are

“comfortable with contradication”.

In other words, see my tagline.

I used to be indecisive about this but now I'm not so sure..

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

If there is no way to prove or disprove something absolutely, who then can prove that a society that says certain acts are homophobic, etc, is better than a society that says certain acts aren't homophobic?

Society? Societies - relativistically speaking - are social constructs that produce social constructs.

Without absolutes - and based upon social construction -neither society would be superior to the other.
