My views on objective morality

[Neo-Scholastic]

If I have to choose between acting in accordance with my empathy despite the fact that it may be confounded by other evolved responses, and what some book says "God" tells me I should do (even though there is no official consensus on how said book should be interpreted), I'm gonna go ahead and say my empathy is probably more efficacious.  Thanks.

All you are doing is criticizing a straw man. You avoided giving an answer. It will not do to make vague references, like most atheists do, to evolution and empathy without acknowledging other evolutionary responses or justifying why reproductive-advantage is a moral virtue.
