I don't buy that BS. Real is real. Fake is fake. True is true. Right is right. Wrong is wrong.
Depends on who you are and your culture!
Christianity is a lie to a Muslim.
Islam is a lie to a Christian.
Eating pork is wrong to a Muslim.
Eating pork is right to a Christian.
You want me to go on? Those may not be good examples but you get the idea.
Reference:
Cultural Relativism is the view that moral or ethical systems, which vary from culture to culture, are all equally valid and no one system is really "better" than any other. This is based on the idea that there is no ultimate standard of good or evil, so every judgment about right and wrong is a product of society.
The truth is still the truth no matter what your liberal moral or cultural relativism says. If you say "there is no true truth", you are saying there is truth through making a true statement. Unless what you say is false, then your false statement would mean there is truth. So there must be truth, and if there is truth, there must also be what could be judged as right and wrong. If there is right and wrong, there has to be a ultimate standard. Without an ultimate standard not even society would be able to judge right from wrong.
Then the question becomes not "what is truth?", or "all truth is equally true", but what is the ultimate standard that society would define truth by. For if there was no ultimate standard for society to define truth by, society could not judge right from wrong, and you would end up not having a society at all.
So what is the ultimate standard for which society judges?
