Can I add what I think would be a realists perspective (at the very simplest level), just to make sure I'm following?
1. Ends are goals
2. The means to an end describe instrumental value
3. objective morality isn't a value proposition but a statement of intrinsic value.
4. Moral objective good/bad, isn't about value either but about it's intrinsic value
5. Oxygen is a thing that can be good or bad based on your value and goal, but aside from your value and goal we can measure oxygen objectively
6. Morality is objective like oxygen in that it is measurable thus a hard fact
.
Something close to that, for us less classically trained?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
