You stated that a moral relativist cannot declare rape to be unequivocally wrong. I showed you that you cannot declare such a thing either, if you use God as your basis--since God (as I've thoroughly demonstrated using your Bible) sometimes considers rape and murder to be morally valid. If you have some other basis for moral absolutes then please present it--but, I've shown you that your use of God for moral absolutism is invalid. YOu are a relativist so you can't declare anyone's moral system to be wrong or invalid without contradicting yourself Mr. relativist, which you continue to do (see the previous exchange). You can only avoid self-contradiction by just shutting up on the topic. You lost the debate.

You continue to misrepresent my position by accusing me of believing that everything is relative. I do not belive such a thing, but only that morality is relative. Such a belief does not cut me off from logic as you assert. Thus, you are erecting a strawman argument.
