I point to posts like that as the main reason that people even object to objective morality. I wouldn’t believe in it either if the people trying to assert it botched it that badly.
The irony, from my point of view, is that most of the time the faithful are positing that morality is a divine subjectivity - merely mislabeling that "objective" as nishant just did and has done repeatedly. The people arguing with them are often saying - nu uh, morality isn't objective, it's a human subjectivity. An absurd argument ensues in which both sides agree at every point and don't realize it.
