Enlighten me. What objective source would that be?

By your method, you can basically decide that anything you want to do to someone else is great, as long as it gets you what you want, but if the tables were turned, and that same thing was done to you, then all of a sudden you won't think it's ok.

Two things. First, whether I label an action as morally good or not is irrelevant. As Yossarian might say, reality is what it is. Things happen and they happen all the time. Our labels don’t change that. Second, what you’ve said above basically boils down to an appeal to consequences, which is a logical fallacy. You could be right in stating that I wouldn’t want to be lied to, for instance. But what I would or wouldn’t want for myself has absolutely no bearing on whether morality is objective or not.
