He presents logic but always begins on step "2".
His first step...unspoken... is "my god is real."
why do you criticize logic? What else can possibly guide you? It seems like the most basic starting point or foundation.
As for step 1 and 2 you could say the same thing about an atheist or a theist, their step 1 is always belief in God or not, its the same both ways.
Anyway I'll have to refer back to my previous posts for the rest of it since I've already covered the distinction between moral practices and moral laws, a culture can disbelieve in 2+2=4 or believe in 2+2=5 but it doesn't change the truth, so examples of moral differences within cultures doesn't change the fact of the case. Also most cultures don't really disagree as much as people make it out to be the case, no culture has ever said there is no morality whatsoever (at least no culture that has survived) and no culture has said evil is good and good is evil etc. anyway like I said I refer back to previous posts we've already covered this
