Relativism does not make it invalid to have an opinion. It only means that you can't ultimately justify asserting that your opinion is objectively more valid than another's.
My moral code centers on human happiness. Yours centers around what you are convinced are a God's proclamations. I dispute the basis of your morality, but if you were honest and just called it yours, I couldn't say it was objectively wrong compared to mine, but I would certainly not agree with it or wish to live where it is in effect. You can disagree with mine, and not want to live where mine would be in effect, but you have no honest basis to say that mine is objectively wrong.
