But why would this weak reasoning be impressive to you?Abstractions only exist within their frameworks eg numbers exist only within mathematics. The number 6 for example doesn't exist outside of this framework, there is no number 6 instantiated in the universe independent of mathematics. There are plenty of naturalistic accounts for objective morality, but this account goes one further and asserts absolute morality, and the classic emotive example of child rape/molestation. But is this the only thing god doesn't want us to do? If so why did the god of monotheism not tell us this in the only section of the bible he directly wrote, the 10 commandments? Instead he told his not to call him names and dont covet your neighbours donkey. What is the absolute morality around slavery, bigamy, homosexuality? Why wasn't god a little more helpful?

Check it out and let me know what you think.
If the evidence of god is all around us and within us, what is it? I have missed that bit. And if that is a true statement, why haven't all polytheisms and monotheisms, all division of those monotheisms and all sub divisions of those divisions accepted the same god. I expect you will need to say we need to open our hearts. Meaning it's our fault we can't see the emperors new clothes.
