That's what I just told you...you realize?
Lets say god doesn't like people who pray to other gods. Therefore it's morally wrong to pray to other gods. This is a subjective moral claim - because it's premised on the gods opinions of an act or people who do it. Conversely, we could say that there's nothing wrong with praying to gods because it doesn't hurt anyone. This is an objective claim, because it references what praying to other gods does or doesn't do.
In the first case, if the gods opinion changes, the moral nature of the act changes. In the second, no matter who has what opinion of the act or people who do it it either does or does not hurt people.
