LOL, that does sound bizarre! Here's the deal. I must go down on record saying that I believe that "condone" is the best word to use in this instance. I'll remember to use the synonyms in the future at this forum.
As far as the definition of moral relativism, here is mine:
| Quote | | In philosophy, moral relativism is the position that moral or ethical propositions do not reflect objective and/or universal moral truths, but instead make claims relative to social, cultural, historical or personal circumstances. Moral relativists hold that no universal standard exists by which to assess an ethical proposition's truth; moral subjectivism is thus the opposite of moral absolutism. |

Not basing one's morals on some alleged "universal standard" != basing one's morals on "nothing."
