Unfortunately it's still a non-sequitur. Just because we might know that a god cannot make it moral to torture a person..this does not establish or imply that morality is eternal. We can only state, from this position..that god didn't create it. That's all that follows, as far as it goes.
What you have or haven't proven is not decided by what you believe (it would be a whole hell of alot easier if it were though, eh?). The standard for proof does not depend upon your individual beliefs, and is distinct from them. You have failed, firstly, to provide a valid argument...you have failed..secondly, to establish that any portion of your invalid argument is sound. You -could not- have failed to prove your position any more completely than this, as these are the metrics upon which proof is assessed.
I think that it would be more accurate to state that you have -faithed- your position, sufficiently. On that point I would agree.
