It is not 100% subjective. There has been children that have not been brainwashed with religious information, that have grown up in environments that did not receive the glorious moral education that we received from the bible and from the koran. They knew from a young age that getting physically abused was not within their interest and having their property taken was not within their interest, thus a logical foundation for morality is possible. Some semantics of morality can be subjective, for example adultery and lying, depending on the specifics of the situation and the social norms these sorts of morals can be subjective. But murder and theft are not subjective, I would like you to make the case for the subjective nature of murder. Animals have a natural instinct to protect and preserve his own life or protect its own property, which includes himself. One does not need to prove that life is valuable, that is irrelevant. The value of life is subjective and will differ from one person to another, ie some people value their life more than others. But humans will always have a sense of self preservation. If there are cases where humans do not want to preserve their life, that does not change the fact that we can make the claim that man kind has a natural sense of self preservation. ie just because someone wants to kill them self does not mean that every person on the planet does not value his life. I would like to hear your lengthy rationalization that claims that killing humans is good. I know that you will not manage and if you do it will not be rational, maybe you do not understand the definition of rational. That is another major problem with basing your world view and morality on a magic book, when any doubt is acknowledged regarding the magic book and its teaching. The religious tend to go to the extreme and make such claims as there being no purpose in life and that morality is completely random. Centuries of philosophical exploration and research has already established that there a purpose in life and that there is a clear logical basis for morality. Conflicts arisen due to resource scarcity are irrelevant to this discussion. I do not need to be an authority to say you are wrong, but I never said that you were wrong. I just asked if you think without the bible man would have no sense of morality and you answer was to ask what authority do i have to say you are wrong. Well that makes no sense. Why is christian morality meant to come from that passage, where in the bible does it say that Luke 10:27 is the foundation for christian morality? If you want to get in to the authenticity of the bible and the miss interpretations of the texts and the miss translations of the text then we can do that. If you start quoting passages from the magic book as rational arguments in the discussion than i will have no choice but to point out the lack of authenticity of the magic book and the many other problems.
