And I don't even say this as a Catholic, I say this as a person who really does try to think logically. Even if I were an atheist, I don't think I could ever make sense of the notion that morality is always subjective.
This would mean that as long as a particular society or culture thinks something is moral, it is. I could never see killing infidel children or burning alive women who were rapped or cutting off a 12 year old's clitoris as ever being moral. Regardless of whether or not that particular culture thought it was, I would still believe those things are intrinsically immoral and so it would follow that I would still believe in some sort of moral truth.
Not aiming to deconvert you, but embracing universal moral relativism and subjectivity is not a requirement to be an atheist. Esquilax doesn't fit that description, for instance.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
