There is objective morality out there. The word objective means not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts, which is what laws are, morally speaking, in a democratic society. Sure, the word objective can also mean not dependent on the mind for existence; actual, but the case can be made that nothing is objective in that sense, at least not demonstrably so.
