I'm not sure how but I'll take your word for it.

If they could "easily" construct such a world I think they could reaonably be considered to be fundamentally wired differently to normal human beings and therefore not really relevant to a discussion about the morality of humans but that's just my opinion.

Yes I do. Obviously we simply differ.

Those who do not believe there are absolutes find it easy to find rationales for such a belief. That is fine. It does not mean they are automatically correct though.
