And frankly, his overall line of reasoning is an example of flawed liberal idealogy, in that it has less respect for one with moral values who fail to keep those values, then for one who has no values at all to keep.
I'll take the person who at leaat tries living up to a set of ethical standards.

The "argument" is in your own words. It's extremely subjective for an individual to set their own morals.
"existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought"
"pertaining to or characteristic of an individual; personal; individual:"
"placing excessive emphasis on one's own moods, attitudes, opinions, etc.;"

An individual coming up with their own morals would be much more subjective than normalized behaviors that were normalized over thousands of years. This is not to say that one set is objectively better than the other.
