If God exists, and assuming from his existence that entails there's some objective morality, how do you know what it is? How do you know what you believe is right and wrong is the same thing God thinks is right and wrong? What if you've been thinking God thinks murder is wrong, when in reality God thinks that's good?
God's morality would not be objective by definition.
"Objective" means independent on the opinions, values or beliefs of a being.
From dictionary.com
Quote:not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: an objective opinion.
If God exists, God is a being.
Therefore, any opinions of that being are subjective, no matter how powerful, wise or knowledgeable that being might be.
