Utilitarians think their way of reasoning is superior, whereas those with deontological ethics shiver at the devaluing of even a single life. If there is no objectively superior moral system, does that mean that morality is just determined by individual difference factors?
Utilitarianism is objectively superior; most people just don't realize it yet.

Read Richard Joyce's "The Evolution of Morality". It gives moral realism the KO punch.

I would advise you to read a philosopher called Derek Parfitt - he did a superb job of deconstructing utilitarianism.

Utilitarianism is good at a policy level. But it fails to account for human nature. At an individual level, some "virtue ethic" is necessary to work with the individual human condition. Utilitarianism must be couched inside virtue ethics that's rooted in evospych.
