They turned into bible and Catholic church debate, then into the problem of evil debate (theodicy debate), then now want to talk about your personal belief as well as the issue of knowledge of the future with free-will (I believe that a lot of the future is not known to God because of the nature of free-will, and God is testing us to know us and so the future is not all written in stone). I would avoid the topic.
Bring it back to the original issue. Does morality and God go together such that both prove one another? (double implications of one another?)
Objective morality and God, in my opinion, go together. I personally can't see or make sense of how objective morality can exist without some sort of God(s).
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
