It sounds like you want to apply how we define truth to how we define morality. I’m not so sure why you’re following elph around with this question.
I still believe that the only objective knowable truth is the Cartesian I think therefore I am.
After that there’s very close to completely objective truths that come by virtue of definition: a triangle has three sides.
God and flat earth like non-truths are still very objectively true but less so by a **** hair.
We do not have moral absolutes in the same way. Every action is surrounded by and influenced by countless other actions. Morality is subjective. I figure most folks would conclude the same unless they believe in God and even more they don’t just believe that God chooses to be moral but rather that something is moral because God chooses it, like killing your own son, for example.
