Shakespeare reminds us through Hamlet that "nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so." It comes down to one's perspectives, one's cultures' thoughts, the words and phrases (i.e., language) we use, or the times that we live in.

Personally, I have found thinking to be surprisingly useful in discerning right and wrong, but then again, because I actually enjoy thinking, I believe that moral truths not only exist, but their discernment is really important. But that's just me.
God has written their laws on the hearts of men, but it takes thinking to discern them and higher education to rationalize them away. The Sophists were, after all, sophisticated.

Moral truths exist in time and space.
I find them in the 66 books of the Holy Scriptura. G*d Almighty never changes. He is immutable. His moral truths never change either.
