If there is no god you can do as you please to serve yourself without having to worry about trivialities like justice or truth. You live, you die, the end. How comforting it must feel not having to worry about the ultimate consequences of your life and never being held into account. I can see the appeal of atheism for people with no sense of responsibility beyond themselves.
Setting aside for the moment that she didn't address "justice or truth" in her list, your personal attacks don't explain why you think that you as well aren't a moral relativist ... because you are. You simply refuse to own the decision, palming it off instead on a fictional being in order to avoid the responsibility of constructing a decent moral code.
Instead, you're satisfied with a Bronze Age code which is incoherent and ultimately meaningless, given the fact that wrong was made right by the torture and murder of an innocent person. If that sort of thing is sufficient to satisfy your moral curiosity, then you're more of a simpleton than I had thought, and all that high-falutin' philosophy apparently didn't teach you a fucking thing.
