I just came up with an analogy to morality that I think will help expose the flaw in the belief of it being objective: propriety.
Claiming that there exists an objective morality makes as much sense as claiming that there exists an objective propriety. In other words, will anyone argue that there exists an objective measure of what is rude? ...because that makes as much sense as saying that something is objectively moral.
Morality, like propriety, is about what kind of society we wish to live in. This, of course, will vary with each individual. We might as well be debating over objective humor...
