When a relativist says that there is no absolute truth, a common, attempting-to-be-humorous refrain from non-relativists is that by implication, the relativist's claim isn't true.
Well congratulations to those who make that reply. But the reply just shows how different the perspectives are.
A true relativist would openly admit that relativism isn't eternally or unquestionably true. He or she would admit that the views he or she has is just his or her understanding of the world based on observations.
I would say that the idea of absolute truth doesn't make sense based on my observation that humans create all understandings.
