Evaluativist Evaluativist Absolutist Relativist

I am an Absolutist in religion because I feel that there is only one real God that I believe in. However, I am a relativist in the arts and ethics. For art, I feel that each and everyone has his or her liking to the different areas of art like music. For ethics, society can argue about what is right or wrong, but in the end, there will always have to be a side that is more right than the other.
