There must be a line somewhere. Society will always debate where the line will be, but arguing against the existence of a solid right/wrong (or "good" or "evil") line seems less than human to me.
I guess my argument would be that certain societies may differ on the specifics of morality, (and some of the difference may and do seem huge) but there must at least be a baseline minimum. People can argue where it comes from (god, a unique human internal moral compass, whatever) but I refuse to believe it does not exist.
