If there is supposed to be this objective morality which comes from God that he has somehow implanted in us so we know things like rape and slavery are wrong, why was he implanting people at the time of Jesus with a different set of morals so that they clearly didn't think or know slavery is wrong? If God had just given them the morality they need, as is being claimed he does now, how come they so easily ignored it back then... and if it's so easy to ignore, seemingly dependent on the point in history you are at, then what's the point of it? Why has it taken 2000 years for it to "work properly"?
Did he have to use some sort of "learning curve" of morality? And if so, why on earth would he have to? If he's just putting the morality straight into you, why exactly would it not work back then as it does now? If God is going to blame the creation again, he's just blaming himself. If the excuse is they had "strayed" then how did they give God the slip for so long in order to have time to stray?
Well, it was objective ... for them ... back then. But our objective morality is not quite the same, because we have been taught by the ascendance of the Loard that what they did back then was wrong -- wrong, I tell you. But we know better now.
Also, morality is objective.
