Here's how this thread, in that case, should go:
I'm not trying to produce evidence. Just answering your questions about what my views are.
You: I believe in God, and I think there's an objective morality-- I can't explain it, or give examples, or support it with evidence. But I believe it.
Everyone else: Thanks for sharing. Next time, please post in the "religion" section.
You're not asking me to answer a moral question. You're asking me to judge the heart and soul of another human being. I believe that can only be done by God.
"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."
