Name one objectively bad person

There are plenty of people who believe it takes going above and beyond that to be good. Some people think humans are incapable of being good. Who are you to say they're wrong? It's impossible to define good without some people disagreeing with your definition. RE: Name one objectively bad person

Conceivably, armed with the relevant facts of all moral decisions throughout a persons entire life a thouroghly accurate and objective assessment could be made.
In contrast, to say that these things are always subjective is to say that there is no relevant fact of any moral matter, but it presents no coherent or meaningful barrier to an objective assessment by whatever metrics one chooses. Moral disagreement does not demonstrate moral subjectivity. Moral objectivity does not require moral absolutism.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That's all you need to know.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Take killing. We think of killing another human as morally repugnant, normally. But we also arm police officers and soldiers with killing weapons, and (especially with the latter) we laud their skill in using these weapons. And, of course, the god you've recently adopted uses killing as a tool for correction all the time; indeed, he invented dying, according to Genesis. Is all killing wrong? Can it sometimes be right? Can you answer those questions with the objective morality you're obviously pushing here? Your god is a murderer, yet you think of him as good. Do you even know what objective morality means?
