so because you think absolute truth exists, you can automatically assume that morals are absolute? morals do not exist outside of our minds. they are oppinions, and oppinions do not equal absolute truth. as for your argument that "there is no absolute truth" being an absolute statement and therefore, self contradicting; this is failed logic. the statement itself is an oppinion, and does not exist as an absolute truth. i could say that "there is no god" and this would be an absolute statement, but this does not make it an absolute truth. so "there is no absolute truth" is not absolute and does not contradict itself because it is not truth. truth is relative because we do not know anything outside of our own experience. everything we think we know, but have not experienced, is only our belief. it is the combination of our knowledge and our beliefs which difine our personal truths.
