Well, yeah, lol. I think it’s pretty clear that’s exactly what’s going on here, which is why he refuses to answer the question. He knows his reasons for thinking that torturing babies is wrong is in no meaningful way distinct from ours, which neatly excises any need for a god in terms of moral truths. His only other choice then, is to do exactly what he’s doing now; bury those reasons behind some magical, (and thus arbitrary) fairy dust cloud of “god/good” that we can all somehow just know without any reason, justification, supporting evidence, or even explicit instruction from alleged god.
I mean, for the sake of the argument let’s concede that this “good/god” who requires no justification for the label “good” nor gives any instructions to anyone, arbitrary or other wise, actually exists:
If one group of folks “just knows” torturing babies is good, and another group of folks “just knows” torturing babies is bad, how can Acro figure out which group has it objectively morally correct? All he can do is appeal to his own morality, lol. Or, simply assert by fiat that god thinks it’s wrong.

Guys a natural realist or pseudo realist.....like everyone else...in his everyday moral reasoning, but has a commitment to subjective absolutism in his religious faith, while simultaneously knowing so little about moral theory that he butchers a non natural realist argument trying to weld those two currents together.
