How to beat a presupp at their own game

Theists will say that God is the grounding for all facts and if we don't KNOW what is absolute (or ultimate) then we can't KNOW anything. It's incoherent. In Discord, this is the line of reasoning and just about every day, fellow atheists get stumped and just admit, well I don't know if there is an absolute and I think that is the honest position to take, but Darth will say the logical entailment is that it's all arbitrary under that worldview.
He would be wrong, then.  We don't have to know everything to know anything, and if we don't know or there isn't any ultimate whatsit, that doesn't effect any other thing that we do know.

Quote:The other issue is that, if I question Gods moral character, a theist will turn around and ask me how I can justify that in my worldview given that there is no absolute arbiter of morality in an atheists worldview. It's all subjective and arbitrary, Like if I say God is a genocidal psychopath, theists will say that in my worldview I can't really speak to Gods moral character, it's just gobbledygook,  or if I say God is immoral, the same thing - how do you know God is immoral, based on what ultimate or absolute standard?

I'm not equipped yet to really give a good defense, hence the questions and I'm up for learning more.
It sounds like this person doesn't know their ass from hole in the ground.  Imagining things about atheists and atheism in order to argue with those things.

You should probably start demanding his ultra standards, then the mega standards behind those, then the super standards behind those. After all, unless god has ultra mega super standards it can't know shit and everything is arbitrary under it's worldview.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
