Judge any of those things by whatever standard you wish, we might agree with your standard and summary, or impeach it. Nothing about moral relativism prevents a person from holding the opinion that their own standard is superior to anothers, and nothing prevents anyone from mounting such a case, and nothing prevents such a case from being justifiable or true. Your claim is nonsense on it's face, if there was no good or bad in moral relativism, there would be no moral relativism. Learn what the big words mean, and what they do or don't imply...before you try to use them.
Now...-regardless- of whether or not there is a god, everything either does or does not have a natural answer, the actual presence of a god would not be capable of settling that question, because, you see...god may -also- have a natural answer, it's already part of the question of everything. You -believe- that the god clause answers the question not because you believe in god, but because you believe that god is "supernatural". That's the important bit, with regards to that question, not god. A supernatural toaster fits the bill equally well. The god clause, as usual, is useless.
@Rob, here you go buddy.
