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.

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

“Everything I have said and done is these last years is relativism, by intuition. From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, that all ideologies are mere fictions, the modern relativist infers that everybody has the right to create for himself his own ideology, and to attempt to enforce it with all the energy of which he is capable. If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories, and men who claim to be the bearers of an objective immortal truth, then there is nothing more relativistic than fascism.” — Benito Mussolini
