You couldn't believe those things are good if morality is objective, because the right and wrong would be inherent.
Sure you could.
A person can believe the earth is flat all they want. Truth is it isn't, and whoever thinks it is is just wrong.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
