It's easy to support my claims, as I've already done in this discussion and others, to say I can't support my assertions is therefore false.
Feel free to content anything you like...
1. Desires are the only source of value that exists
2. Morality is a subset of value dealing with shared and conflicting values.
3. Therefore, morality is an evaluation of shared and conflicting desires.
Once that is settled it's rather easy to make the case for objective morality.
4. Good and bad are statements about value, that which is good increases value and that which is bad decreases value.
5. That which is morally good is that which increases the most value from shared and conflicting values.
6. There are objective facts to be known about what desires tend to promote more and stronger desires than the competing desires.
7. Therefore, that which is morally good is a desire that tends to promote more/stronger desires from competing sets of desires.
There you have it, desires are the source of value, good is an increase in value, morality is concerned with shared value and it is objectively true or false whether or not a desire tends to promote or thwart more and/or stronger desires than it promotes.
That is objective morality.
