Do you acknowledge that at least some people hold moral positions different than your own? If so, then by what criteria do you establish your own "beliefs" as representing objective truth, and those of others as being objectively wrong?
"I just believe it because I'm Christian" isn't an objective description of anything. It's a description of why your subject morality takes a certain form.
Yes, I am aware that people disagree with me, especially here. I was stating what I personally believe to be true. And that is that morality is objective.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
