>>>How about this... a man shoots and kills some one you love (assuming you have a loving spouse, relative or someone close). You take him to court. But he says "I really don't believe that I killed him/her...". Is he right/innocent?

>>>According to you (if you believe in relative reality) this is a legitimate defense for murder.

>>If it were up to him to decide his guilt then you'd be right. But its actually up to a jury, as their opinions (representing their subjective realities) are the determination of the court.

>>If the jury believes him, then his defense was good enough. If the jury didn't believe him, he didn't have a good enough defense.

>So if a murderer avoids capture, he didn't commit the murder?

Not in the eyes of the justice system.

My point is that all truths require some point of view.

You're trying to discuss something from the perspective of an objective point of view, or in other words, the eyes of God.

That's all well and good, I just think that such a perspective is hypoethetical. Actually, any perspective outside of your own is hypothetical.
