The seven fatal flaws of moral relativism

Moral relativists can’t accuse others of wrongdoing.

Relativists can’t complain about the problem of evil.

Relativists can’t place blame or accept praise.

Relativists can’t make charges of unfairness or injustice.

Relativists can’t improve their morality.

Relativists can’t hold meaningful moral discussions.

Relativists can’t promote the obligation of tolerance.

This is taken further by the following:

Relativists can’t hold meaningful moral discussions. What’s there to talk about? If morals are entirely relative and all views are equal, then no way of thinking is better than another. No moral position can be judged as adequate or deficient, unreasonable, acceptable, or even barbaric. If ethical disputes make sense only when morals are objective, then relativism can only be consistently lived out in silence. For this reason, it is rare to meet a rational and consistent relativist, as most are quick to impose their own moral rules like “It’s wrong to push your own morality on others”. This puts relativists in an untenable position – if they speak up about moral issues, they surrender their relativism; if they do not speak up, they surrender their humanity. If the notion of moral discourse makes sense intuitively, then moral relativism is false.
