Does Him being the creator of the universe make His opinion any less subjective? What you seem to be saying here is that so long as you are by far the biggest fish in the pond, that imbues your moral opinions with objectivity. How does that make sense? What does His 'authority' have to do with whether or not they are, a) merely His opinions or b) objective matters of fact?
Yeah, great point. God seems to think, feel, and behave pretty similarly to the way we humans think, feel and behave, so what possible reason do we have for thinking his morals are infallible?
