Moral relativism as TUMOR
Moral relativity and related foolish thinking is what allows liberals to support [[abortion]], [[gay rights]], and [[drug abuse]]. Moral relativity erodes principled [[self-defense]] and thereby leads to misguided demands for [[gun control]] as well as psychiatric problems resulting from a lack of mental self-defense.

While the idea of moral relativity exists independently of (and substantially predates) the scientific [[theory of relativity]], moral relativists seized on the theory of relativity to legitimize their views. Historians such as Paul Johnson wrote about how the theory of relativity caused a sea change, justified or not, in 20th century thought.

|quote=}}</ref> moral relativism is a philosophy that can be abbreviated with word '''TUMOR''':
*'''T'''olerant: Moral relativism represents a hypocritical culture in which the "tolerance" is emphasized even though not honored evenhandedly. Criticism is not welcome except against opponents who dare to show their own independent opinion.
*'''U'''ntraditional: The culture of moral relativism naively favors everything labeled as "alternative": alternative music, alternative voices, alternative, medicine, alternative life styles. The rebellion against traditional values is promoted, often in form of provoking obscene "cultural" expressions. The favorite topic of modern profane relativists is, for example, a fictional story on relationship between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene such as one by [[Jose Saramago]] in his blaspheme work "''The Gospel According to Jesus Christ''". Another example might be movie "''Million Dollar Baby''" which is compared with Nazi movie "Ich klage an" (I accuse) banned by Allies after [[World War II]] due to its hidden propaganda promoting Nazi program for [[euthanasia]].<ref>{{cite book

*'''M'''arginalized: Moral relativism is a culture that portrays delinquents as "''victims''". The misdeeds of celebrities, athletes, and politicians are quickly forgotten because their sordid behavior is deemed as driven by the unreasonable demands of fame and fortune. For example, supporters of Bill Clinton never wavered after the truth about the Lewinsky affair came out, claiming he was the ''victim'' of a right-wing conspiracy.
*'''O'''utdoors: Moral relativism is associated with ''radical environmentalism''. Many of the same protagonists who defend a woman's "right" to kill her unborn child would hurl themselves in front of a bulldozer to rescue a nest of spotted owl eggs.
*'''R'''eprobate: Reprobrate means marked with immorality; deviating from what is considered right or proper or good. The culture of moral relativism has adopted an "''anything goes''" morality, a kind of moral ''whatever-ness''. Individuals are misusing their own rights without respecting the rights of others and often even without sensing they violate them. The typical example is a burglar who broke into private house and sue owners because he slip on their floor.
