I just told you how. I reference facts of the matter. That's what moral objectivity is. I could say that it hurts people, and you won't have to take my word for it. We could measure it in pints of blood or lost teeth or broken bones or years of mental health issues. We could measure it in the cost of treatment.
I mean, feel free to correct me, but if you found yourself seeking damages from someone who curbstomped your kid on account of all the harm it did...and that dipshit went "well..that's just like..your opinion..man"..you might curbstomp him.
You don't really have to leave a god out here...because in a world with or without a god..this is what it takes to mount an objective moral claim. Has literally nothing to do with whether gods exist or what they want, and even if they did exist and did want things, these are the criteria.
