Greg Koukl is a Christian apologist, radio talk show host, author and blogger in Los Angeles, California. He is the founder of Stand To Reason, a Christian evangelical organization dedicated to the articulation and defense of the Christian worldview.
Concerning moral relativism he writes:
Moral relativism is a type of subjectivism which holds that moral
truths are preferences much like our tastes in ice-cream. Moral
relativism teaches that when it comes to morals, that which is ethically
right or wrong, people can and should do what ever feels right for
them. Ethical truths depend on the individuals, groups and cultures who
hold them. Because they believe that ethical truth is subjective, the
words ought and should are meaningless because everybody’s morality is
equal; no one has a claim to an objective morality that is incumbent on
others. Relativism does not require a particular standard of behaviour
for every person in similar moral situations. When faced with exactly
the same ethical situation, one person may choose one response while
another may choose the opposite. No universal rules of conduct apply to
everyone. Continue at John Samson
