Thank you 
I can't even understand what someone even means by objective morality, until they can give me some sort of real example.
To me, one of these always applies to talk of objective morality:
1) It's incoherent
2) It's actually subjective morality being called objective morality
3) It's of no practical use to anyone
The burden of proof is on anyone claiming morality is objective. That requires defining what the frag that phrase means (to me it's a contradiction in terms) then at the very least giving some actual examples. Surely that's not asking for too much.
