to go full moral relativism right away

Jesus, so you still think the mature stance was "maybe Hitler wasn't morally wrong"? Bad news, you still have a lot of maturing to do. Like a fucking phenomenal amount. Just because your beliefs as a child were even more baseless doesn't mean you've moved to a sensible position.

Thats not what I meant, but I can see why you read what I wrote that way. I personally think "There is no such thing as Truth" was a better place to mature away from than "I've been on this earth for 12 whole years, so I'm grown enough to know what the truth is". I also think you missed the part where I don't believe any of the moral relativism stuff anymore. My young adulthood was nearly 10 years ago, even the clooge I listed at the bottom is loooong gone.

Ok, I see what you mean, the way you wrote it made it seem like you considered the process of becoming a moral relativist to be speed running maturity. Well done for growing out of it, then.

See, this right here is why I love you folks on Hexbear. Every good-faith argument can end as a good-faith argument instead of devolving into screeching. That's pretty rare on the internet.

If you're going to lecture about "maturing", then maybe don't start by jumping to conclusions based on the first sentence.

Actually I jumped to conclusions based on the whole comment, as it makes them seem like they consider becoming a moral relativist to be speeding through maturity.

Quite the personality analysis from a five sentence comment.
