Why there is no such thing as objective morality.

Incorrect. I specifically and intentionally used the example of the Nuremberg trials because I have no idea what the religious beliefs were, if any, of the American, British, and Soviet lawyers and judges.
You really have no idea what "objectivity" means.
 
First, the term "objective morality" and too many meanings and is too vague to have a real sense.

Objective does not mean true, as there are things objectively false.
Objective has nothing to do with true, you half-witted donkey humper

It's simple. It just means there is an absolute right and wrong, independent of opinion, consensus, or cultural norms.
I don't think it has to do with absolute. It has more to do with what's perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices or interpretations

That doesn't work for me.
I think rape, slavery, genocide, lying and cheating elicit powerful feelings, because the moral conscience of the normal adult reacts so strongly against them

I don't believe you understand the how "feelings" is being applied here. Why don't you try again and get back to me? Good lord.

You don't have "feelings" about genocide and slavery?
I think the first reaction a normal person has about genocide is outage and revulsion. They are not putting their personal feelings aside, which is how your post defined objective morality

You can't say it's objectively wrong to rape a 5 year old because of what they experience as part of being raped? Pain? Terror? Long term trauma?
