Hey Mark, have you ever thought about relativism and its implications on society?
Relativism? Yeah, I've heard of it. It's the idea that there are no absolute values or truths, right?

Exactly. It denies absolutism, objectivism, and universalism. Nothing is considered universally true or objectively right or wrong.
That's a pretty radical idea. But I can see how it could affect different aspects of life. Like, if there's no absolute truth, then moral values could deteriorate because everyone's perspective is considered equally valid.

Right. And culturally, people are free to choose any cultural belief or practice they deem good. But that could lead to social issues because no one can judge others' actions as wrong or right.
Well, religions often teach absolute truths, right? Like the existence of God being unquestionable. But relativism challenges that by suggesting that contradictory beliefs could both be true, which is a logical problem.

It's like a slippery slope. If everything is relative, then who's to say what's right or wrong? But what about religion? How does relativism impact religious beliefs?
