Every human being may be able to ignore their conscience and say something is right when it isn't, but it won't change whether it is absolutely right or wrong. Widespread disagreement on morality has no bearing on the existence of absolute morality.
We may disagree on what our conscience tells us, but mine tells me the Holocaust is absolutely wrong. Perhaps you could explain what yours tells you?
For it it be an absolute it would have to apply to everyone without exception, people wouldn't be able to have a differing opinion.
Just like gravity.
Morality is only within people, nowhere else.
