I agree with some of what you are saying, but relativism quickly proves itself wrong when weighed against simple absolutions like the sky is blue, gravity is real and the earth is round. These are basic things you can prove to yourself with a plethora of home experiments and thanks to flat earthers, more home experiments prove round earth more each day.
Where you lost me was comparing porn to abortion. Porn isn't "evil". Yes it can become evil, but in instances where everyone is consenting, it's just sin and degeneracy. I agree we shouldn't call it "good" or "okay" it has its problems. If does have psychological effects, but these aren't apocalyptic and world ending as fundamentalists need it to be.
As for abortion, in the Netherlands it's 100% legal and rarely ever performed. Outside of medical and rape yes I'd rather have none, but the numbers per capita are so low it's astonishing. This is because their society actually provides viable and reasonable alternatives. All the pro life things right wingers virtue signal about they actually do. And that's the other side of the problem. Fundamentalists say they are "pro life" but in practice do fuck all to actually LIVE pro life. Of course that was by design- but anyway, point being, humans are not the evil degenerates the fundamentalists WISH they were. And that's what's most fucked up about it... Christians NEED people to be worse than they are so they're vindicated. And that's why I walked away... Well one of many reasons anyway.
