What about ''objective'' morality?

Dont you need to identify what regulates your moral duties. If humans adopted absolute principles, duties, obligations then is this not subjective?
How do we know what is actual ''objective goodness'.

So the system you have outlined above is like saying morals are parallel to human growth where we have a predetermined goal and our actions are right or wrong based on the consequence of that action. eg- you have pro-green activists some want to travel across the country to promote their campaigns
but whilst they do this they're polluting the air by aeroplane travel they're usinng so many methods which add up to more harm and go against their actual campaign ideas. yet they don't notice this? lols but in their eyes they are doing good deeds. it's just subjective the outcome of goodness.

therefore we can't identify every possible consequence of that action. That would be impossible and so in respect this just leads to us justifying bad actions both politically and socially on a wider scale.(( there are lots of examples of this in society already) laws fluctuate what may seem good to us right now may be bad in the future. Laws just change to fit a spacial time or a certain linguistic frame.

But what if there was a holy book to tell you already the ''objective good''? and moral LAW
and there was a system in place like that?
