I don't think we are. You think we are because you are ignoring objective truth and objective right and wrong. So, from your perspective, you can make up a rule that says it's great to kill people. I say it's wrong according to an objective source, and no made-up rule will change that, and no circumstances or justification will make killing right. In a worst case scenario, you would realize just how wrong it is to kill someone when someone kills
you.
Or you could just decide it's ok for you to kill someone else, but it's wrong for anyone to kill
you, which is pretty diabolical if you ask me.
I am using the example of killing, because it makes the wrong clear, but this principle applies to any more subtle wrong-doing, such as lying, deception, cheating, half-truths, withholding information/truth, adultery...
By your method, you can basically decide that anything you want to do to someone else is great, as long as it gets you what you want, but if the tables were turned, and that same thing was done to you, then all of a sudden you won't think it's ok.
