You are in the same position. A) You don't have access to God. B) Even if you did, your belief in its absoluteness would be dependent upon you, not God.

Even if one says that well-being or minimzing suffering is an objective criterion of good moral actions, one can simply keep asking what makes this criterion superior to other competing criteria, etc.
The same applies to God. Does Euthyphro ring any bells?

No, it just adds another belief that the solipsist believes in.
