Objective vs Subjective Morals

[bennyboy]

The main difference between a god's moral code and a human's is that the god can enforce his code at will.

We could also note that an omniscient god has much more information than a human, but as morality is ultimately subjective anyway I don't see that that matters.

That's all fine but it wasn't my point. My point is that if the decrees of a superior are taken as absolute law, that represents an objective morality from the perspective of the followers. It doesn't matter to the person obeying the laws whether Moses made them up in a magic mushroom trip, or whether a real God handed them down as per the story.

On the other hand, if the willingness to ACCEPT an imposed moral code represents subjective morality, then even Christians following a real God are exhibiting a subjective morality.
