You are on the right track in your assertions except for one error: humans exist within a context of culture that impinges on the understanding of reality which eliminates pure objectivity. There is no way to avoid this dilemma.
That misses the core point. Humans don’t own objectivity, we align with it. God, in this sense, isn’t a deity within creation but the impartial reference point that makes objectivity possible at all. Culture is biased, but existence is even more so. It’s the primal bias, the condition that allows any other to exist. That’s the argument for ontological objectivity: the level of grounding that precedes perception, belief, and culture itself. It’s not contextual, it’s what makes context possible.
