You stated "[I]f only God commands what is good, then good isn't relative but absolute." No, if God is posited as omnipotent, this is not necessarily true at all: he/she/it can be the sole wellspring of "good", and that good can still be absolutely morally relative.

Not sure where you're getting confused as far "absolute moral relativism" is concerned. I included the "absolute" to make clear that there are no set abstractions, given that "moral relativism" is a term used loosely.

Oh yeah, sure, but why research when I've already made my point above? If you're going to successfully contest your opponent's position, throwing in these puerile jabs isn't going to cut it.

Indeed. Why should anyone do research on anything if they believe they know everything?

Right, because I've definitely made it clear that I "know everything". Oh boy...
