Sure. Each theist can make up whatever shit they want since it's all imaginary. And as "morality" isn't well-defined either, they can pretty much make up whatever they want for that too.
It's the ones who insist on objective morality and then use dual definitions which fall foul of equivocations and dilemmas.
I don't understand how anyone can support "objective morality", if morality is in any way to do with wellbeing. That implies wellbeing can be objectively assessed. And I say it can't. Not in the same way that length can be. For length, we only have to agree on the units we use. For wellbeing, it's such a broad topic that I doubt any two people would agree on a method.
