But then, if even the goddamn DEFINITION of objective is in dispute...fuck, man, now I hate that word.
In that dispute...each side attempts to refer to what are purported to be objective facts...lol...so.......is it really in dispute - or is the dispute over who has the better set of facts?

Objectivity -fosters- dispute.  Two people just bullshitting each other are not having a dispute, they're just bullshitting each other.  It take facts to really fucking get into a good dispute with someone.  The way you came to understand what an objective morality is was tainted, and you know who I blame for that one, lol.

But you sure seem willing to give them a good pat on the back for some insane unfathomable reason.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
