Hi all, new to the forum. (While some of the implications of the following issue are religious in nature–it’s not specifically about religion. So I hope this forum section is appropriate.)
I’m having (had) a discussion with a (former) friend regarding objectivity and the nature of absolutism and relativism–and especially the implications of making absolute statements.
Obviously, I think I’m in the right in this conversation. ;D And he’s completely off base. But I have no one to help me out, and hoped someone here might be able to
a. Let me know I’m on track,
b. Let me know where my arguments are weak or incorrect,
c. Convince me I’m totally wrong but with better arguments than my “opponent”.
The conversation went on here:

(I’m “Mechphisto” there as well.)
Now, I’m NOT looking for people to become trolls or flame!! In fact, I DON’T encourage anyone to jump in on the conversation. I’m looking for feedback for myself. And it can even be in the form of private messages if you wish.
Thanks for any opinions or advice or comments!
