You have stated....”I don’t believe in an absolute moral truth because one cannot be proven...they are absolute beliefs, not truths”......

That very statement is an absolute truth statement, the very thing you are saying cannot be proven by the “reasoning” you are using.

Truth by it's very definition ‘excludes’ it's opposite...it cannot be all-inclusive. When a person denies the exclusive nature of truth they are making a truth claim.

The question will always be whether the truth claim being made is sustained by the tests for truth.

No, it’s a belief. I could be completely wrong...or right...or somewhere in-between.

Do you think there is a difference between absolute truths and absolute moral truth?

It doesn’t matter to me whether my beliefs can be proven or not, as they are mine. Like I said, I don’t believe in absolute moral truths for everyone, so it really doesn’t matter if it can be proven or not.
