I see this one alot. So Im going to lay it out in full and simply.
Consider the statement - Curbstomping an infant is bad.
Now, we can call this statement true for purposes of discussion. If we insist that something about -curbstomping infants- is bad..that's what it means for a thing to be objectively true. Curb stomping infants is the object, an object, there are things about curbstomping infants that make it bad.
If we add the caveat "if there is a god" - then..in a godless world, curbstomping infants is bad is not true. The addition or subtraction of some agent, and no change about the object, is the good or bad making property. This, in fact, would also hold in this world. That it's not anything about the curbstomping of infants, but the presence or absence of a god, that makes something bad.
Or, makes 2 and 2, 4.
