One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.

People that engages in vile evil acts like that will certainly face judgment one day and when that day comes it won't matter to the slightest whether THEY think what they did was okay, the only thing that'll matter will be what they did and just that.


If part of the 'objectivity' you attach to morality resides in your expectation of final judgement in this life or another, then we have nothing to discuss.  I think you're simply mistaken about that.  If that is all that objectivity amounts to, I'll pass.  

Meanwhile are you ever going to tell me what is wrong with acknowledging that moral judgment is a subjective experience.  The only sense in which morality is object is in terms of the universality with which some judgements are held.  You can -as I believe Khem does- also argue that some acts are objectively immoral assuming some base level of commonly held beliefs such as avoiding harming persons unnecessarily.
