While you're looking for your next way to bullshit the both of us - let's explore.
You don't need to know why I think some thing is good or bad to know that I think that good things can be ugly, pretty, or neither.
You don't need to know why I think something is pretty or ugly to know that I can find the beauty in immoral things, the ugliness in moral things, or neither.
You only need to know that I can to understand why morality and aesthetics are not content equivalent. You may base your own morality on what you find aesthetically pleasing, that is the very definition of a subjective morality....and as we've discussed before, I'm not a subjectivist.
I'm fully aware of the fact that I do not find the good uniformly pleasing, or the bad uniformly repulsive. The ugliness or prettiness of an act as I see it has absolutely no relevance to my moral conclusions, and my moral predilections do not describe or constrain those things I find aesthetically pleasing.
I'm also fully aware of the fact that this has nothing to do with gods and, additionally, that you can't come up with any explanation as to how it would.
