Otherwise, our moral values are merely the result of personal preferences or social conventions.
Or even something else which isn't altogether understood in a way that is satisfying to all parties. I don't personally think moral values are objective. They seem to be precisely the sort of thing which exist subjectively. Why do you think they are objective?
