Is it true that there is no absolute morality?

I have spent the entire discussion thus far explaining to you, repeatedly, clearly, and simply, what "subjective" and "objective" mean. I have gone so far as to directly link you to the search results necessary to find the definitions in question, and even posted screenshots of those definitions for you to view directly.

"Subjective" means "a matter of opinion; not true from every point of view".

"Objective" means "a matter of fact; true from every point of view".

I am not using some sort of arcane, unrecognized, difficult to understand alternative definition for either term. Nor am I failing to state it clearly.

This is not me attempting to condescend to you. This is just a statement of fact.

These words have simple definitions, and you are using them incorrectly.
