My views on objective morality

[God of Mr. Hanky]

So if God made killing babies good, then you would not want to be good?

Also, what if "the naked" don't want to be clothed? :-D

The thing is, we have an inherent understanding of good and evil. Generally speaking, people know that torturing/killing babies is not good. I believe God gave us that understanding. So a world where God has established that goodness is killing babies/etc, would be a very different world. It wouldn't be the world we live in, and we wouldn't be the people that we are.

Are you not aware of the fact that other animals, who do not worship god, have those same values? They don't torture, and they sure don't kill their own offspring because this would be anathema to their most important, and genetically pre-programmed purpose (known otherwise as "instinct", which is to produce viable offspring. When they kill the offspring of others, it is for the purpose of ensuring their own survival through new offspring, which works for them if they are of a non-sociable species. We are a sociable species, therefore we don't kill babies. There simply is no evidence that any god had anything to do with making the killing of human babies by other humans not good.

Also, you didn't answer my question on "the naked", when they don't want to be clothed. This may be a serious question with the many tribal peoples who were found living, to the disgust of Xtian missionaries, in the nude. They didn't like it when the missionaries make them put on clothing, but they did this in exchange for the better medicine which they brought with them.
