Sorry to jump in by quote mining, but reading this particular statement forced me to step in. If morality is absolute, then how do you explain cultural relativism? If Eskimos didn't believe that infanticide was moral, they probably wouldn't be here today. However, can you think of the moral system of any first world country that would allow for this? It certainly wouldn't be the United States.
