On Christianity moral values have their objective and universal basis in the immutable nature of God. He neither arbitrarily created the moral law, nor is there an external moral domain in which God is subject. Moral values are, because of who God is.<ref>[http://www.apologetics.net/post/What-is-objective-morality.aspx What is objective morality?]</ref>}}

Leftists tend to denounce objective morality, or indeed any form of absolutes, as evil and compare the concept to the totalitarianism to the Nazis (when in reality the Nazis did not adhere to objective morality), and even tended to denounce anyone who adheres to objective morality as being insane and childish, with the implication that reality is always gray.
