Relativity, nonetheless, confronts human beings at every turn and in every decision they make. One of the reasons that religious people do not want to admit relativity is that it forces adult decision-making on them. It is so much easier to remain childlike and to pretend that there is a set of eternal rules which one just has to learn and agree to apply. Human beings want to believe that they can define the terms “moral” and “immoral” in a definitive way. It is, however, the existential context of life that more often than not determines what is good and what is evil.
