In the link I provide the actual thread I posted, and on the first premise that you're referring to I have an asterisk which refers to this at the bottom:
I think I now understand better what you are saying.
Are you familiar with Plato's Euthyphro dialogue? He discusses a somewhat related problem there

"Is the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?"

You should read it if you haven't, it is quite readable if you can get a good translation.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
