Then, by necessity, moral's are relative. You like vanilla, I like chocolate.

Are you suggesting that flavour preferences are moral absolutetes, or are you presenting some kind of analogy that is too far removed from reality for me to understand?

Both Jesus of Nazareth and Pol Pot were right, relaitively speaking.

Right in what way?

I tried the analogy on my granddaughter who is almost 4. She understood it with a bit of prompting. You, I have no hope for but I'll try anyway.

In a world of moral relativism, you're flavor of morality may be different from the next guys, ie. Pol Pot and Jesus of Nazareth. That being the case there is no objective right or wrong, no moral absolutes, just moral relativism.

Is that too tough for you to handle? Should I simplify a bit more?
