I believe I've proven you wrong on at least two counts now, the GOP's anti-gay stance, and their support of killing.

Just because Penske thinks that the Republican platform is not in line with Gods law does not mean that it is based on moral relativism. Both the Republicans that wrote the platform and Penske believe in absolute right and wrong they just disagree with what things are right and wrong. In other words they disagree with what is right and wrong, but they both believe there is a universal right and wrong.
That is a far cry from thinking that right and wrong change with the cultural and with circumstances. If both Penske and the people that wrote the platform believed in moral relativism there would be no argument because the two of them could just agree that certain morals apply to one and not the other.
A person that is a moral relativist does not really believe in right or wrong, or Just or unjust.
