Moral relativism is the objective path. In some cases murder is acceptable (when somebody is trying to rape and murder your wife or child, perhaps.) In some situations, they are not. Morality is relative just as all things are relative, and this has little to do with egocentrism.

They both logically stem from a rejection of God. Obviously moral relativism means no moral absolute, i.e. God.
If God exists, He created us all and therefore we are all brothers and sisters and we all know how we ought to treat our brothers and sisters, i.e. love.
If God doesn't exist, then there is no logical basis for accepting the worth of others apart from what we gain from others.

That's a tough question...I guess on one 'hand', to say that no one else can define "truth" for you is a bit egotistical; but then again, the thought that neither can you define "truth" for another is pretty humbling.

They're evolutionary remnants that make up for or lack of claws, speed or keen night eye-sight...
