This is the crux of the matter. What you consider to be moral. You cannot show any moral that you hold dear to be objective. Not one. You can show that a lot of people share your morality, but you'll never be able to prove one objective. Because they aren't. They're taught. What we believe to be moral is what is moral for our time and society. Even the immorality of murder (not killing, but murder) can be argued. Morality is nothing more than the agreed upon rules your society lives by, taught to us by those who came before us and changed as circumstance require, guided by our empathy for each other.

Objective morality would give no room whatsoever for jeebus to do this. Objective morality is unchanging and unchangeable. It is a dictate from outside.
