I, a moral objectivist, subjectively engage in whatever I can grasp of whatever moral objectivity I propose there to be. I physically and literally cannot do otherwise, even if I wanted to...which I do.
More than that...I will, when it's compelling...do something I consider to be objectively evil. I have. I will again - and were not talking about picking the wrong color drapes here. I'm a legitimate danger to my fellow man regardless of the fact that I accept an objective moral schema based on harm.
I.....will....harm....people....... This secular conception of evil is analagous to the religious concept of sin, and it's equally available to the religious absolutist despite being identifiably godless.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
