The only value that an appeal to self evidence or intuition has is to identify and describe some common ground from which two people can work in a discussion. If I ask a person, for example, whether or not they also think that there is some thing about x that "makes it bad" - that doesn't certify the realist conclusion, that doesn't demonstrate that it is, really, bad....it could very easily be a shared false intuition.
Relativist and subjectivist and incogent moralities can all be shared.
This is why your appeals fail to compel, Acro. You stopped there, as though this was the end of the conversation rather than the beginning, rather than working -from- that point. Your failure has absolutely nothing to do with the other persons atheism.
