Right so it comes down to which one is absolute.
He didnt discuss anything he was agreeing with you, then made a statement I wanted to challenge.
What is humanity's biggest mistake? And weakness?

Neither is absolute. They're both opinions.
He made a statement. You didn't challenge it. You just said "that's an opinion." Well so is everything here. If you're going to challenge his statement, by all means, do so with evidence to the contrary.

For himself. It holds absolute for me too (personally) because I believe it to be true. That doesn't mean I expect it to be absolute for everyone (universally.) It is simply the way some people view the world.

My fault, I under the assertion that an absolute claim needed to be an absolute truth. Carry on.
Humanity's biggest mistake is the inability to simply not care about what other people think, believe or, sometimes, do. We meddle to try and force others to think as we do because we alwas assume our own views are the right ones.
Its biggest weakness is our inability to exist with synergy with our own world.
While I do think some of the aspects of the commandments might be good and correct things to abide to (like, no killing, no stealing...and thats about it I guess), the whole "god says what is right or wrong thing" is too mid 1500's. We, as humanity, have grown past that. And right and wrong evolves as humanity does. So, he is right in the sense that there is no real right or wrong, only a matter of opinion and context. What is right for me is wrong for you and vice versa. But that means nothing. There are core truths for most people but they will never be translated across every single individual.

God also says through the bible:
So no round off haircuts or trimmed or cut beards. Those are wrong.
Tatoos are bad.
Darn, jeans and polyester together = sin. God dam!
Oh no he didn't. All bishops and priests, all clergimen...they are all doing bad things!!!!
