I'm hung up on it, because you keep calling what you're doing morality, but morality is making the distinctions between right and wrong. (which in the context of morals, I'd equate with good and evil).
If you're making up your own definition of morality, that's fine. But it confuses things, since I'm arguing against a different concept, and think what you're calling morality isn't really morality.
If I say unicorns don't exist, and then you pull out your dog, and say I consider dogs to be unicorns. And I say but it's not a horse with a horn in it's head. And you say I don't believe in horses with horns in their head. And I say, but that's what unicorns are. To me, I consider dogs unicorns. Language is fun.
(Not saying your interpretation of morality is that absurd or absurd at all. Just that it's making the conversation absurd. A shame we couldn't have come up with a better way to communicate than words.)
