I agree with this. The problem, as I see it, is that as far as morality is concerned, there are no absolute truths. Sure we can agree that harming other humans can be considered immoral but then, how do we deal with things like corporal or capital punishments.
Some can draw a clear line and say, anything that harms another human is immoral. Other's will say, hold on! That person did something to harm another human. I am not immoral in harming that person in return. I want "justice", Off with his head! ...and morality goes out the window. It goes without saying that supporting any war, to someone who believes harming another human being is immoral, is immoral.
Morality, or better yet, how we apply our morals on the world around us, is on a continuum. Judge not, lets ye be judges applies.
