I mean, first of all, ''the statement itself is a declaration of absolute truth''. If you have a moral relativist friend who says, "There is no such thing as absolute truth," he's laying out a truth that he believes will never change. He should put it this way: "It is absolute truth, that there is no such thing as absolute truth." Isn't that crazy? It's self-refuting. It's like me saying, "This sentence does not exist." − <div style="padding-left:40px;">— Ryan Dobson<ref name="Dobson"/> </div> − |}

'''Good and evil''' are two opposite concepts describing actions that are [[moral]] ([[Virtue|good]]) and those that are not ([[evil]]). The idea that good and evil exist is the opposite view to [[moral relativism]] (see [[postmodernism]]), which contends that there are no such things as absolute good and evil, and that the prevailing moral code in any society is merely a set of ultimately arbitrary conventions.
