As in, if you and I agree that murder is wrong, that means murder is objectively wrong. Is that what it means to be objectively wrong or right...everyone agrees or disagrees? That would be silly.
You're fishing for agreed upon moral values..and you're fishing in the same pool you're swimming in...so you shouldn't be surprised if you find them. What do current social mores have to do with objective moral values?
"Any argument for moral skepticism is going to be based on premises which are less obvious than the reality of objective moral values themselves." (Louise Antony, Atheist Philosopher)
IOW, denying the existence of objective moral values, or moral skepticism, flies in the face of what we know from our own lived moral experience.
