My biggest problem is why I should care, if there is "one true objective morality".
What does it matter? What use is it? If it doesn't line up with what I think morality should be about, I'm just going to ignore it. I don't take orders from anyone. It's entirely amoral to do so.
If God meant to give us all the "same morality", he has failed. Simple as that. He could have done it, and done it properly. He didn't, so I can only assume it wasn't important to him. If he wants us to have "free will" and to think about morality for ourselves, then he wants it to be subjective.
Giving us free will then ordering us to ignore it and obey men speaking for God or else we'll be punished, is the methodology of a lunatic.
Most problematic of all: no two theists agree on what this objective morality is.
