You second proposition is complete bullshit. Even if we assume that nothing is objectively true (which would be ridiculous) we can still assume things to be relatively true.
What is your point of reference with which truth can be measured relatively?
This is incoherent. I have no idea what you're saying or why.
As an atheist, to me absolute truth simply means the correct correspondence between statements and events. It isn't necessarily always possible to know the truth, but that doesn't mean there is no fact of the matter regarding events.
For a theist, what could absolute truth possibly mean? Some seem to think God is the truth - misapplication of terms.
Some seem to think that only God is in position to know ALL the truth. Many Christians seem to think since God is their guy and He has the truth, so do they. Utter bullshit of course. No Christian knows that God has the truth. Worse, they don't know they have the right god either.
But face it, Christians mostly don't care about the truth. They just want to be lambs grazing under God's watchful eye. Many long for the oblivion of absorption by God, or to suckle at His breast like an infant.
