So says the "i'm right, you're wrong" relativist.

All of your religions are equal to me, all claims to Truth equally valid. Admittedly, some are far more entertaining than others.

"All of your religions are equal to me, all claims to Truth equally valid."

How very broad minded of you. I guess one could say that you're dogmatically relativistic.

"Admittedly, some are far more entertaining than others.

Oh yes, I agree completely. And nothing is more entertaining than watching someone who claims to find "all religions equal...all claims to Truth equally valid" pretending to be open minded.

What about the claim that "not all claims to Truth [sic] are equally valid"? Is that claim also "equally valid"?

Relativists typically end up arguing that "All truth is relative, except the 'truth' that all truth is relative, which is absolute". A logical system constructed around such blatant special pleading isn't a very sound system.

So the Truth of reincarnation, Nirvanah, Valhalla, Taoism, Allah, Yahwe are all valid and non-contradictory...hmm...

If that's true, you should have no objection to widow burning, female circumcision, child sacrifices, or prayer in schools, because hey, they're all equally valid...
