Is it true that there is no absolute morality?

I'm perfectly willing to stipulate that if God created people with a specific intent to behave a certain way, then that would be objective from our point of view.

What about from a more universal point of view? Would it still be objective, or would subjectivity become more apparent at that level?

I think if God created the Universe, and the moral laws were part of that Universe, then I'd say that they would still be objective so long as objectivity is defined in terms of the Universe. Of course, if it were defined in whatever framework a sentient God lives in, and if that God had the power to arbitrarily choose laws, then they would be subjective.

But that doesn't matter to religious arguments about objectivity. If God is real, and if mores really relate to the outcome of one's spiritual fate in a consistent and reliable way, then I'd describe them as objective morality.

That's just a hypothetical, though. I don't think the Bible provides a consistent enough moral view to establish it as a source for objective morality. People in the Bible are sometimes told to murder, sometimes told "Thou shalt not kill."
