God's moral values are intrinsically bound up in God's nature and existence. There isn't a "God's moral values" floating around outside God. There's just God's existence and nature. When we use terms like "God's moral values" all we're doing is focusing on an aspect of God. God's existence and nature are unchanging and necessary (exists in all possible worlds). This makes all of His aspects, including His moral values, unchanging and necessary.
Do you not understand that or are you being intellectually dishonest? Or are you trolling?
Quote:Morality being contingent on a mind whether its our mind or gods mind is by definition subjective.
God's morality isn't "contingent on a mind." God's nature, including His moral values, isn't contingent upon anything. He's a necessary being.

First of all, your question isn't even a good one and it's not going to end up like how you think it will. The more interesting question is the one I posed.
Quote:Do. You. Need. A. Deity.to . Keep. You. From. Killing?
I dont
In order for you to say "I dont," you'd have to presuppose that God doesn't exist and didn't create you.
Do. You. Need. Evolution. To. Keep. You. From. Killing?
