That people arguing for moral absolutism do not seem to understand what it actually is[what is your evidence that you know what it is, that they don't and that they dont know that it isnt] , and when presented face-to-face with the actual concept, utterly balk and have to add caveats and conditions that literally undermine their entire position [load of crock but I await your proproganda to support your position, mein fuhrer]. My entire point was that morals are conditional[fine], that they are not absolute[conditionals can be absolute], and that the situation and circumstances dictate the morality of any given action[sure]. Despite this, the ONLY type of argument against my position thus far[there has been more than one argument, player], has been my opponents proving my position[your evidence?] by throwing in the very things I argued dictated morality[elaborate?]; and they seemingly argue against[that last sentence is a non thought].
This level of cognitive dissonance is simply astounding[I'm assuming you believe this because you want to be let off the hook to do whatever you want with no regards to other people or common decency], to the point I find it hard to frame a response which doesn't make the opposition look silly [only dogmatic atheists think we look silly; atheism is a new phenomenon that grew out of the enlightenment in reaction to the polarizing christian dogmas. the only close analogue in antiquity is Socrates. So, with the exception of Socrates, are saying people such as Einstein, Hawkings, Archimedes, Aristotle, Epimendenes, Steven Hawkings, and Neil Degrasse Tyson to a lesser degree are all "silly". Even if you claim you are smarter than they are, which you probably aren't, they have done far more to improve society with their "silliness"], because they have simply cornered themselves THAT badly [moral absolutists who have to argue this worldview without immoratlity, amorality, good and evil spirits, the supernatural, god and gods, UFO's and The Yeti in their corner have to build a robust system of logic. it is probably a translation error or your framing biases assuming anything not said by your god, that being you yourself, is a lie that should be condemned].
