I find myself..at least in my life (not so much here because I mostly point and laugh at charlatans and assholes) telling theists exactly that thing.
This is the image I have. This is all I need to justify my positions. Not just in a moral context, in any context. This is the world I have, this is all the world I need to justify my positons. A person can propose other images and other worlds all they want...but I am this, playing this game, on this board. I could be getting it wrong, somehow, in context of some other image or life. It wouldn't be the first time that the rules for two different games were..well..different..and I'll cross that bridge when I get there, if there's a bridge to cross. I'm doing this eyes wide open. I've made a conscious decision..by the rules of this lifes game..and on this lifes board, to solve the problems before me in this life.
One foot in front of the other..left..left. left right left. In that, I truly "make no plan for the morrow"...which you think they'd be a little bit appreciative of..but I digress.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
