Not A Poll: Does Motivation Affect Morality?

I said 'out there' because I was thinking of it being in action, such as controlling and influencing outward behaviour, and that's because I was mainly speaking about laws. I didn't mean anything else by it.

I agree epistemically objective morality can be true, but I'm not sure how it applies to laws. I say 'in there' because I believe the objectivity is in the unbiased minds of those being epistemically objective, and so in a sense objective morality is true, although I wouldn't say it existed or was 'out there' for that seems to be talking more about moral ontology.
