There is no god and no objective morality.
Personally i cant wrap my head around the concept of these things being wrong only as a matter of opinion rather than fact. At the same time though, without God, you cant really make the case for objective morality... So you have to concede that raping, torturing, and killing a 4 year old is only "wrong" as a matter of personal opinion, like thinking the best color is pink.
The head you can't wrap around the concept of subjective evil is where subjectivity resides. Your revulsion that the vilest of evils can only be measured subjectively, is itself another subjective evaluation. This is not a point against subjectivity, perhaps it is time to recognize that all evaluations are subjective enterprises, moral ones included.
