From Theism to Moral Objectivity

Many people hold that God exists, and that he has given certain commandments (such as the Ten Commandments)
But if moral values are subjective, then these commandments would reflect God’s subjective opinion, and would be no more legitimate than the opinion of, say, Bill Clinton.
But that is absurd. If there is a God, then his “opinion” has to occupy the position of fact.

Therefore, moral values are objective and not subjective.
