Heya, welcome
We’ve just been having a massive debate about this in another thread! Here’s my take.
Basically, "good" and "bad" are very vague, subjective terms. You can only have objective morality once you’ve defined those words in precise terms, so that any two people would reach the same conclusion in any given situation. But since people don’t agree on exactly what these mean, even if they generally agree, then any particular definition will be arbitrary or personal.
We can hope to reach a best compromise, but that’s all.
