Which is neither here, nor there.
For one, concepts are also physical things (e.g. the correspond to chemical changes and neuron synapses in the brains on those knowing about them).
Second, even if abstract, concepts still affect the physical world by influencing actions.
Besides, nobody argued morality is a physical thing.
>It's also relative from person to person and from a culture to another. It is not a truth.
Physical things are also perceived differently rom person to person and from a culture to another. A dish might be great for one, but disgusting for another, for example.
Something being relative is opposed to it being absolute, not opposed to it being true.
E.g. if I say I love X, that is relative and personal. But my love can be true.
