Yup.
And we've explained how "god's opinion" is subjective anyway.
I perfectly respect someone saying they think rape is always wrong. (Although I can construct situations where I would personally question the judgement.) But I can't accept someone saying their way of assessing morality is objectively correct, unless they give a very strong argument why this is the case. Or how that is even coherent. If it's simply a matter of opinion, then that's the definition of subjective.
I've had the same problem with Roadrunner on another thread. I just don't think people are using the word "objective" properly.
