Wow this was cringe to watch. Yeah Moral Relativism is self defeating but your Christian values are circular reasoning. Why should other people listen to your gods beliefs? Christians can only point to the sky and say "because God said so". As Christian we should give up on these parlor tricks and just try to help people. Always preach the Gospel, when necessary use words.
This is such a lazy critique of moral relativism. Not only is there a false equivocation going on, but a concept is being held to account for the supposed inconsistencies of some who claim to be moral relativists. What is missed, from this critique is a deeper understanding of what individual morality can look like. It is falsely assumed that moral relativists must accept the morality of others, but that is simply not the case. Moral relativism is a belief about how morality plays out, not one's approach to it.
