It’s time for a good old fashioned rant: But it’s not objective

Copyright of Lone WolfWhen discussing morality, meaning or purpose with theists many theists will inevitable say "but it's not objective". Of course it isn't, morality, meaning and purpose are concepts, they are not things. There can not be objective morality, meaning or purpose and no matter how many times you say objective morality, meaning and purpose comes from your deity, it doesn't change the fact that objective morality, meaning and purpose is impossible. Why? Objective means "with out minds" i.e. if something is objectively true it is true regardless of the existence of any mind including the mind of a deity. For there to be objective morality, meaning and purpose, they would have to be what they are even in a universe or a multiverse without any life what so ever and with out any deities what so ever.
