Where does it exist? What does it look like? How do humans access this objective existence?
Simply saying something doesn't make it true. You'll need to demonstrate your claim.
I think morality comes from the fact that life (especially human life) is sacred. And life is sacred because God made it sacred, and told us that it is sacred.
And so hurting/destroying something sacred is always objectively and definitively wrong. That's why I believe we must treat all life with dignity and respect. Because living things have a certain dignity to them. And that is why I believe we must treat humans especially well above plants and animals, because God made our lives at a higher level than those of other living things of the earth.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
