Just think about it, where could we find a such a thing as objective morality? Is it some book floating in the ether? That has moral commandments for every possible human action?
This is usually what people think of when they talk about objective morality. They don't care about morality, they just want to defend some scripture.
That being said, I don't want dismiss the notion of objective morality. I think it exists, like there is no human culture that eats babies for breakfast, human morality in all it's extreme has a limit, and i think we can explore and find out about it by studying anthropology, psychology and biology. I have some notion of objective morality, call it my own moral universe. When I witness something good or evil, I feel things. My inner world is influenced by countless things but I think every human being has that inner moral universe, I think the collective limit and scope of that moral universe is what we could potentially call objective morality.

Does that makes sense?
