Yes, that is a good point. How should a finite human "subject" come to overall and objective values about what is evil and what is not?
The thing is if there are no overall and objective values, then everything can be justified. There is no basis to say something is good or something is evil, or something is ethically justified or not. At least not from a kind of objective viewpoint which would have to apply to all people. What may be ethically justified in one country or culture might be unmoral in another.
