Once he answers the question "Is the holocaust objectively wrong?" he will realise that he has to assume that an objective standard for right and wrong exists. Then he will realise that he will also have to defend the objective standard that he posits. Once he has done this I shall continue to answer his questions.
You have used the word 'objective' 3 times in your post, but I remain unconvinced you understanding its meaning. Please explain its recurrent deployment.

His use of the word "objective" seems to fluctuate between being 1. an idea that his god figure would agree with (or something along those lines) or 2. ideas or opinions that Fetchmyjunk agrees with.
He seems to use it as a kind of 'intensifier' to indicate an idea that coincides with his own idea (as he does with terms like universal and absolute).

The irony is that FMJ is probably the least objective poster to these forums.

Objectivity is a central philosophical concept, related to reality and truth, which has been variously defined by sources. Generally, objectivity means the state or quality of being true even outside of a subject's individual biases, interpretations, feelings, and imaginings. A proposition is generally considered objectively true (to have objective truth) when its truth conditions are met without biases caused by feelings, ideas, opinions, etc., of a sentient subject.
