But then you find yourself in a rather peculiar situation. For you’ve told us that you don’t think objective moral values and duties exist. So why the indignation about a jealous, vengeful, and self-absorbed God? On your view there’s nothing wrong with having such feelings! On your view the only objection to theistic morality must be a consistency objection, that theistic-based morality is somehow inconsistent. I can’t help but suspect that, in fact, you do believe in objective moral values after all."
I've known Rhythm a long time and everything you accuse him of here is wrong. Save your canned speeches for when they're warranted.
This was no accusation of Rhythm (and I remember him from when I was here a long time ago as well). I said this was borrowed because of how the argument was framed and responded to. I acknowledged it as not my own but in context of the argument of God morality being subjective.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
