The standard moral argument is:

If there is no God, then there is no objective morals (morality isn't real).
There is objective morals.
Therefore God exists.

And a lot of theists do find this argument sound.

My argument instead of just saying God starts with it having an eternal basis. I think this is a better approach, because I also showed a thought experiment with God existing and morality not being eternal, and I think we intuitively see a problem with that.
