[I'm sorry if the answer is obvious but I don't know how to refute this one]
I don't see how relativism prevents one from saying than one thing is more or less moral, compared to another. Relativism can't reasonably be defined as 'all moral practices and principles are equivalent'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
