The Truth is Relative Fallacy

“Rape is okay when…”, he couldn’t answer it.

When asked to complete the sentence, “Taking pleasure in cruelty to children is okay when…”, he couldn’t answer that one either.

Then he blurted out that such things although not right for him, in someone else’s opinion would be ok.

When asked, “If you saw someone doing such a thing, would you stand back and say, ‘That’s not okay with me, but I’m not going to interfere because it’s okay with the other guy, and he’s entitled to his own opinion’, or would you object and assist the one being assaulted?”, he began to see the fallacy of his world view!”
