One of the arguments for the existence of God, which points out that ethics are without absolutes apart from God
I am not sure what a traditional atheist is, after all if someone does not believe in religion then there is not much scope for different schools of nonbelief. It should also be noted that atheists are just as diverse in their beliefs and values as are Christians, Muslims or Hindus. I think most atheists believe in moral absolutes, but not necessarily moral absolutism. They accept that some things are always morally wrong - such as murder and rape. That is a moral absolute. But they may accept the right to self-defence, even if, in the extreme, this requires taking the life of another person. They believe that theft is always wrong, but then think about the starving person who steals food - how do we judge this? Some are uncomfortable about abortion, particularly late-term abortion, and euthanasia, but can not bring themselves to condemning those who perform abortions or euthanasia. Here I see no moral absolutes. Lying is immoral if done gratuously or for selfish reasons, but most atheists would accept that lying for a genuinely good reason, such as to avoid suffering or distress, is wholly justified. Once again, a distinction can be drawn between moral absolutes and moral absolutism.

As usual, I'm a fence-sitter.

Yes, both rose and tuberose absolutes naturally contain eugenol. Eugenol is a compound with a spicy, clove-like aroma and is present in various essential oils, including rose and tuberose absolutes.
Logical absolutes are fundamental principles in logic that are always true and cannot be contradicted. They include the laws of identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle. These absolutes provide a foundation for reasoning and decision-making by ensuring consistency and coherence in arguments and choices. Adhering to logical absolutes helps to avoid fallacies and errors in thinking, leading to more sound and rational conclusions.

Ethical relativism denies universal moral principles, claiming that moral codes are strictly subjective. Ethical situationalism states moral principles are objective, and should be applied differently in different contexts.
Some do, some don't. There are no absolutes.

He cares more about preaching to his audience than entertaining them. He is a simple person that only sees the world in absolutes. He loses himself in the sermon he is preaching to the audience.
