Exactly, I have can faith that some other arbitrary set of rules are the "objective morality". Objective just means it doesn't change depending on the person using it; any set of fixed rules is objective. What religious people seem to be saying is that there is a "best" objective morality. But if you have no standard of your own, how can you possibly know what is and isn't best? If it's just what God wants, it's circular. If it's about being a good person, God is irrelevant. We know how to be good people and take care of each other.
The fact that CL would reject certain morals, even if they came from God, shows she does have another standard already in place that even God must adhere to.
That standard is subjective, because every theist has a different idea about what would and wouldn't be OK, even if God ordered it.
