    In the liberalism wars, I've been accused of embracing "moral relativism" for protecting the rights of others to speak, including the right to air views I find repugnant. False. Utterly false.https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/embracing-liberty-does-not-mean-embracing-moral-relativism/ …

        “People are going to use the same liberties you enjoy to advocate for things you hate. Is that okay?”

        If you love the marketplace, you clearly love everything sold there. This is why I shop blindfolded and then blend/chug whatever I buy.

        I have heard this said of you. My recommendation: chug more slowly; aspiration is a greater risk with advancing age.

        Moral relativism is acting to subvert & sabotage secular society, justifying your deceit and nefariousness in the conceit that god is their side

        They are mistaking moral pluralism for moral relativism. Living in a society alongside people with different moral systems is vastly different from saying all moral systems are valid.

        See also (and relevantly for Christians like Ahmari): the parable of the weeds among the wheat.

        It is getting very scary that people on the left and right seem to be undermining the first amendment these days
