Thanks. My bad. I'd lumped them together in my mind because the arguments are so similar. Thanks for setting me straight.

Just to be clear, I welcome discussions of non-theistic objective morality as well.
These are separate issues that can be arranged in a quadrant:
1. God exists, objective morality exists.
2. God exists, morality is subjective.
3. God does not exist, objective morality exists.
4. God does not exist, morality is subjective.
