For it to be objectively wrong you would first have to define what 'wrong' actually is to the point of being able to physically measure it.
You won't be able to come up with such a definition that does not fail in other situations.

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.
And why is it such a problem to accept that raping, torturing and killing a 4 year old is "wrong" as a matter of personal opinion? Surely the only reason is because you have such strong opinions against such acts because of your biologically evolved instincts.
Let me show you pictures of evil using your definition (don't worry, they aren't disturbing):
And why?

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
