Why is it that most people consider the laws of nature as not being subjective? Because the laws of nature have been forced upon us, which is reflected in mathematics; one is always equal to one because matter can be neither created or destroyed. A person can argue there is no phenomena called gravity, but every time an apple is dropped, there is always the same consequence; the apple falls to the ground. The best a person can do to make the physical laws subjective is to believe that life is a dream. But even then, if life is a dream, the dream cannot be controlled.
Why is it that people can consider truth as a social construction? Because there is no authoritative force that is forcing consequences upon us for “constructing truth.” Yes, for short periods of time, certain rulers can declare what is right and wrong and force consequences on people, but it is clear that such rulers are not all powerful in that regards.
Suppose, though, that there existed a God who could force consequences on all humans for rebeling against a moral code. Then moral truth would no longer be considered subjective, just as the laws of nature are not considered by most as subjective.
Suppose that there is such a God who will eventually force consequences on all humans for rebeling against a moral code. Then the ability of humans to now consider morality as subjective is merely freedom that has been given for a short period of time.
