Because there is no way to objectively measure the amount goodness or badness we imagine specific actions have. If everyone were to agree to share the same moral theory we would all imagine the same moral conclusions, but even if we did, that wouldn't tell us anything about the real world. When two people with different moral frameworks reach two different moral conclusions about a specific action there is no way for us to measure who if either of them is objectively correct.
Why would anyone believe morality is objective?

There's lots of ways. A common one is "quality adjusted years of human life produced/reduced". Another is more binary: "does this action fulfill or violate my moral obligations". These things are about as measurable as any output of actuarial science, which no one claims is mere subjective opinion.

Wow! That's a lot of philosophy books man!
I'd like to lean more about this sophistry you're talking about. Are there any particularly well regarded philosophy books out of the more than 400 philosophy books that you've read that particularly embody the sophistry and grandiloquence you're talking about? Are there any exceptional philosophy books that rise above grandiloquent sophistry?

The part where he goes to the gay bar to get free drinks then gets into a fight because a gay mexican starts hitting on him is a metaphor for the relation between the working class and those who control the means of production in a capitalist society

So you DO think we have a moral obligation to not eat meat?
