I'll repeat what I said in another thread:
Christians have taken a particular subjective morality, and declared that they will follow it and never change it. Of course, I don't actually believe them on the whole, but that's what they claim. They then call this "objective morality", although you'll be hard pressed to find two Christians who agree on the contents.
So what? All they've said is that they can't ever improve, towards any goal they may decide is important, because they've anchored themselves to bygone standards.
Everyone who is prepared to examine and update their morality can improve themselves, with respect to particular goals.
