We don’t have any measure by which to determine what is or is not moral truth. Still doesn’t make it any less real.
To give an analogy - whether or not there is some all-powerful being controlling everything in the universe. We have no way to measure whether or not there is. But there is still an objective truth. There either is, or there is not. Our inability to measure or determine it does not make the truth any less real. It simply means we do not know.

I agree. But that is because moral truth is something that can’t be messured because it is not objective in the first place.

No, the very fact that you can’t messure it means it’s not objectivly true. It’s unknowable. Hypothetical. It’s literally the opposite of objective.

That definition perfectly aligns with what I just told you and directly contradicts your point.
Then please tell me how I it can be factually messured or observed. I’m waiting.
