Your question is a good one...the answer you're aiming for is no..but why not? Is there something objectively true about that situation that means it isn't..or is murder or the badness of murder mind dependent? Such that if I thought it was bad or murder..or my society considered it bad or murder..it really would be ? We often refer to subjectivism and relativism as criticism of objectivist claims. Genuine subjectivism and relativism are different and stranger than we intuitively imagine..because...rightly or wrongly, we're intuitive realists - just like you implied with the murder question.
I still think that the intuitive realism issue is up for grabs based on the research I have heard one person citing (Lance Bush).
Clearly my use of only one source for that opinion is something I need to remedy at some point though. Not enough time to fit everything in :-(
