When you say "Despite what moral absolutists say, history is clear that morals are relative." I would have to disagree. I believe that the only difference people can have on the issue of morality is how they define it. It's not too hard to come to common ground with everyone on certain fundamentals of what morality constitutes (except for those who believe in things like divine command theory).
Given that morality is a system of accepted actions that benefit society (which I think is not too much of a leap), one can objectively say that things like slavery, murder, and rape are wrong.
