For that person, Einstein was surely smart enough to know what he was talking about, and if The Big E said "Everything's Relative" then it certainly must be true and therefore universally applicable to Everything ... including faith: It's all relative.
Except that's not what Einstein meant by any stretch and not what The Theory of Relativity is about in the least. At all.
But that's what some folks want to believe any way, because thinking "Everything's relative" also means "What's right for you might not be right for me" ... which makes thinking about difficult issues easier. Believing "Everything's Relative" or "There Are No Absolutes" thus makes it easier to avoid making firm decisions. About anything.
Particularly concerning Faith and eternity.
