I can say that absolute truth does not exist. I'm not saying it 'absolutely' doesn't exist. It relativistically doesn't exist. If absolute truth doesn't exist I cannot say it absolutely doesn't exist and therefore I am not, no matter how I word the statement.
Okay - just for my own sake of mind - you're saying that you believe absolute truth doesn't exist to you, is that correct?
If so - then the debate is over, because we're strictly talking about your opinion. Help me out here.
EDIT - Either absolute truth exists or it doesn't, but to say it doesn't is to presuppose absolute truth - so if nothing else, the best you can say is that it "might" not exist.
