You seem to forget that acts considered atrocities today were okay in antiquity (and indeed, some are still are okay in countries that practice religious law), so this "objective morality" that you prescribe is no better than the idea that altruism is selfish, since it is nothing but blindly following a deity/traditions that conveniently change their minds rapidly depending on who is in power.
You can claim it is superior just because a deity(according to
books/
religious groups) claims that is is the
absolute truth/law, but you don't have to look very hard to see that religious law/interpretations change often, and you don't have to look very hard to find religious directives to perform genocide/slavery/force marriage, or even stories in which the god(s) themselves perform acts that are considered wrong, but it's okay because it's against people who conveniently happen to be the enemy of the nation that practices the religion.
Example:
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
22 If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
But... New covenant right?
Obvious handwaving in supposedly
"absolute" morality to keep up with the times.
