Therefore, this suggests your morality comes from something else (maybe your subjective views). But if so, what is the point of divine morality, especially if you are doing ok morally without it?
Who says it's inaccessible?
Am I doing ok without it? What's your definition of ok? What is ok morally to you?
Subjectively I have a different expectation then you. I don't think I am doing ok.
You don't believe in the unseen path to begin with. So me being left behind is ok with you. To me it's not ok at all.
But it doesn't matter what ok is to me or to you. What matters is what is ok to God given what She entrusted us with if you believe in Her.
That is why a reminder, an admonishment, a warning, and good news, is expected of God.
What if God really isn't more than the mortal humans who wrote what they attributed to that god? I know that even if this were to be proven, and you dealt with said truth, it would probably not convince you that the idea of your god is no more than the product of other humans, with or without any direct communication to humanity through holy books, but then how can you really know that it is?
You said this:
"But it doesn't matter what ok is to me or to you. What matters is what is ok to God..."
How can you really know what is ok to your god? I've seen people claim to communicate with their god directly through prayer and reflection, but...ahhhh, REFLECTION! What it really comes down to is the battle within each individual between id and ego, sometimes in the presence of a superego but often that mental element is absentee. Whether or not your decisions are selfish or altruistic, they are in truth yours, and the god which you have constructed in your own image is a convenient deflection target when you feel that to be necessary.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
