If a culture or a person sees that there is nothing wrong with raping women for the fun of it and there are no moral absolutes, then another culture or person would have no basis for criticizing the moral actions of that culture or person. The act of criticizing the moral actions of another culture or person assumes that there are moral absolutes.

If a person says that there are no absolute moral values, then ask, "Is it an absolute moral value that one should not dump a pot of boiling water on someone else just for the fun of it and laugh about it?".
