By definition, "objective" means "free of anyone's opinions or values". 

Quote:not influenced by personal feelings,interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts;unbiased:


Therefore, no being, however wise, powerful or benevolent, can create an "objective system of morality" since opinions would necessarily enter into such a created system of rules.

EDIT TO ADD: My morals are more based on humanistic principles. I'm not sure if I qualify as a "secular humanist" but I'd be comfortable with that label.

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
