Because we get to choose the axioms from which we start to argue. No one forces you to start with "anything goes" and take it from there. You're too stuck in the thinking that only "absolute objective" values are a valid starting point for ethics. They are an illusion anyways, just because your religion dictates A,B,C, doesn't make them true nor are they objective, you know?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
