Three people's answers to how far away something is might be "500 miles as the bird flies", "1000 km by road", "a day or two to drive", and all three answers might objectively speaking be correct, truthful and accurate in the sense they are reasonable approximations and correspond to something real that a 3rd party could check.
Distance exists. Distance is objectively a real thing. How we talk about it though can be pretty subjective. Same with morality.
But God sure doesn't need to intervene to give us a measure of distance in order for us to use it.
We sure don't start dozens threads whining that human distance is subjective and therefore to have objective distance we need God.
We don't say that because every human culture in history defined distance differently that therefore we need God to exist and need him to be the external distance-giver outside of humanity.
So why do you do that for morality?
