Proof morality is subjective:
God killed 75,000 people over a census.
EITHER:
A. This act is immoral, and therefore God is immoral (Objective morality cannot come from a god who does not act morally at all times, ergo there is no such thing as objective morality)
B. This act is moral, and therefore it would be okay for someone to kill 75,000 people over a census (Calling Dr. Lecter, Calling Dr. Lecter. Fava Beans and a nice chianti are waiting for you in your car)
C. This act is immoral for people, but moral for God--meaning morality is subjective.
