Conceding that the various competing moral systems contain opinion is not conceding that they have no truth value, essentially or otherwise.I would call that a belief, not an opinion, if it purports to be a statement that is true, rather than merely a claim about personal taste. If someone else's belief is in contradiction with it, theirs must be false, and then we are not speaking of relativism.
I'm of the opinion that green left handed widgets are the most evil thing in existence, what say you? Can we assign a truth value to my moral claim?
