On theism, why do humans have moral duties even if there are objective moral values?

The "rewarding in itself" part. Does it mean rewarding as a secular humanist would understand it, that is, it simply feels good to help someone and it feels good because god makes us feel good? Previously I did not consider the "god making us feel good" part.

Ignoring the tu quoque nature of the first sentence, I admit that it might very well be a reading comprehension fail on my part. But I can't be sure unless I know which sentence or clauses (and by whom) you're referring to. Can you quote the sentence and let me know which clauses I butchered just so I can improve my English grammar (and I'm not being sarcastic here)?

Fortunately, I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.

I don't really know the rules of compound clauses in English. But I'm curious as to how much you know about my native tongue for that level of certainty to be justified.

What the actual fuck? They don't have parentheses and conjunctives in your language? I know quite a bit about your native language because I know a good bit about languages in general.

The sentence in question is "good is rewarding in itself (both natively and because God has made it so...)" -- the very one to which you were responding. In the first part of your response you chose to ignore that it says that it was rewarding because God made it so. In the second part of your response you chose to ignore that it was rewarding "in itself." Neither are likely to be justified by any language difficulties but rather instead point to general incompetence on your part.

I see your chosen method of engagement is to be a smartass. Good choice. I'm sure that will serve you well.
