Everyone values life. Do you not value life? Humans value a sense of fairness and justice, this has been shown by studying infants. Humans value happiness and joy. These are OBJECTIVE HUMAN VALUES that all people can access. Building on this you could form an objective system of morality that bases itself on values that are available to all people.
Serial killers and suicide bombers value life also? Don't be silly. You're running into a dead end here.
A minority. Since when does the exception dismisses the entire general rule? It doesn't, the general rule prevails, just because there are some abnormalities that doesn't make the general rule invalid. Serial killers often lack morals or empathy, they are psychopaths or sociopaths, you cannot talk about any morals, not absolute, relative or objective, if they lack any morals we can't consider them valid to the numbers. And suicide bombers? That looks like a typical muslim thing, so you're saying muslims are the ones going against absolute morality? And why do you consider murder wrong? B sides your religion... Why do you consider it wrong? Tell me.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
