Why not ask a question that directly proceeds from what you -do- believe, instead?

Take your time, do a little introspection here.
- and no, I don’t have a problem with a supernatural reality, it’s just not relevant to my morality. If a god existed, I still wouldn’t have any use for it. I find occasion to explain this to christians every now and again...,so I guess it’s your turn to hear it. The existence of your god, or any god, is completely irrelevant to me.
I don't reject non-natural moral realism, I don't reject someone like Vulcans view. I do reject natural realism, the sort that you and other here have tried to defend, attempts to located goodness within the scientific and historical facts, engaging in the sort of problem Moore outlined in open-question argument.
I believe in a non-natural moral reality, a transcendent moral reality. This is the belief I'm defending, and the questions proceed from such a belief.
Just because this doesn't satisfy your desire to argue about some sky daddy, doesn't really matter to me one way or the other.
Quote: The existence of your god, or any god, is completely irrelevant to me. Just as I would have no need of reference to your god for my moral propositions, if it existed....I still wouldn’t be a Christian, if it existed.
It's equally irrelevant to me to defend whatever sort of God you have in mind, existence. I'm not the one that keeps bringing up God you are. For someone who claims to not care about God, or doesn't see any usefulness in it, you seem pretty obsessed with it, lol.
I'm just a guy defending the idea of a transcendent moral reality, who just so happens to be a theist.
