YES, it is subjective.
That's unfortunate, but not as unfortunate as declaring that an imaginary being created objective standards. Not all methods of determining what is moral are equal. Religion is generally not one of the better methods.
Better systems are things like asking, what would I want the standards to be if I had to determine them before I was born not knowing my sex, health, wealth, race, or abilities beforehand. Or, what moral system will maximize benefits for the most people?

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
