 *subject to* 
Doesn’t mean subjective.
That’s literally how you define the word.

I stopped interacting with Tarik, whatever the validity of their claims, I find literally no progress being made by talking to them.

virtually everyone has the same bare-bone morals across all societies, and everyone just knows right from wrong from conciousness

if morality was subjective, then this would be the opposite

Excellent. I look forward to you presenting this proof.

Right and wrong are subjective. Of course everyone knows how they would prefer people to behave.

From a subjective human perspective, yes we have similar morals. The thing is - we are all similarly biased.

No context as in a goal in this case. If we are playing chess and it is assumed that we both want to win then we can examine any given move to see if it is a good or a bad move FOR THE PURPOSES OF WINNING THE GAME. 

No god(s), even if they exist are a context even if they provide some context (a separate proposition).

Um... even if he provided "context" morality cannot be objective. You cannot derive an ought from an is.... no matter how is the is is.

I fail to see how any god(s) provide any context for morality that effects our defacto need to trust our own personal moral intuition in the absence of a clearly defined moral standard. What are you proposing some god(s) want and why should I care?

Bald assertion. Also proposing an undemonstrated proposition as a cause for anything.

don't believe in god, and that still wouldn't be objective, even if a god did exist because, and say it with me now, you cannot derive an ought from an is, no matter how is that is is.

Prove what? That something which is subject to God's word is subjective? Are you serious?

Well stated. Unfortunately he is serious. He appears to prefer prescriptive language to descriptive language. I have pointed out to him before the dangers of defining something out of existence.

Well.. to be fair, havng had conversation with this fellow before, they have an aversion to presenting evidence or accepting it, so that doesn't surprise me
