If this is the case, then moral acts are neither right or wrong. They are just preferences and desires, not right or wrong.

Then you deny that a human can make moral judgements? How, then, do you assert your morality proper?

Humans make moral judgements. If you wish to dismiss those judgements because they don't share your own premises, that's your business. But then at that point you yourself are practicing moral subjectivity -- "their morals are wrong because they aren't based as mine are."

In other words, you insist on equivocating, and I'm unimpressed. *yawn*
