Indeed. Even if we were to accept the outlandish claim that the bible can teach us objective morality, how we interpret the book is entirely subjective. For one thing, it's a mess of contradictions. You have to choose the side you like best from each one, when it relates to morality.
This is very convenient for Christians. If the bible was straightforward and accurate, they wouldn't have all the excuses they can use for flipping to another page and reading out the exact opposite of the thing they don't want to do.
