If I ask a Christian how they know what kind of killing is considered murder, chances are they won't resort to an invisible silent God for the answer. They'll try to rely on their reasoning faculty instead. Well, that's an indicator of subjective morality, not objective.
You’re trying to argue that the laws of deduction are subjective not objective? Or is that not what you meant by reasoning?
No, I wasn't arguing that. I don't see how you have failed at understanding the point I was making. A very simple point, mind you. Or was this supposed cluelessness a tactic you just employed to run away from the point I was making?

So you wish, but unfortunately for you the Christian can account for the existence of transcendent laws of morality that apply to all humans and you cannot.
I haven't seen one do that yet. Can you demonstrate to us what sort of killing objectively constitutes murder? Is slaughtering babies, for example, considered murder?
