But, and this will look like exactly the same thing, it just so happens you will find near unanimity of agreement that those things are wrong subjectively. The fact that it is only near unanimity accords better with the evil being a subjective phenomenon than an objective one.
I think the opposite. I think the fact that there is such a universal consensus through all cultures and countries that certain things are wrong, supports the belief that morality is objective and that we have an inherent understanding of that. No other "opinion" is so universal as it is when it comes to these black and white moral issues.
The universality of certain moral dispositions do make them objective in that sense. But the objectivity arises in a subjective arena. Morality is a subjective phenomenon.
