However, if you adhere to the belief that truth is absolute, then you are forced to say that their is an absolute definition of right and wrong. Absolute truth implies absolute morality, therefore, your statment is a contradictory one.
Correct and incorrect is not the same as moral and immoral. "Right" and "wrong" have been used to represent both terms, but they are not interchangeable meanings. For instance, someone who does not tire easily does not necessarily have a hard time changing a car's tire.
I suspect you understand this, and were throwing a dishonest counter out in the hopes that the scolding would overshadow the devastating argument to which you are unable to honestly respond.
