There may be an objective right and wrong. I don’t know it. My idea of morality extends only as far as myself anyway – can you just call me a general moral apathetic and get it over with, please?
Why not call it what it is?
How does it demonstrate them? For all you know, Ms McBeth may hold to an absolute moral code – it just isn’t yours. And she might take issue with your sense of morals just as much or even more as you do to mine.
I was not referring to McBeth. I was referring to the view moral relativism is of minor importance.
The Nazis were pretty absolute; they just followed the Fuehrer before God. Not a lot of room for “what you believe is right is fine, what I believe is right is fine” when you’re sending everyone who doesn’t believe the way you do to concentration camps.
The Nazi’s made themselves the final authority in all moral matters as does a relativist. That why I said relativism leads to rigidity and intolerance.

What “idea” of truth (or morality) are you willing to die for?

Of morality? None at all. Of truth? That people should be able to do as they please in their personal lives, so long as they harm no one else who has not consented thereto, whether or not I or anyone else thinks their actions wrong. I realize that may sound more like morality, but I don’t think it is.

There are plenty of other truths I’d willingly suffer major or minor annoyances for, but you didn’t ask about those, so…
