We just need to presuppose one particular account of God for this discussion. No need to multiply assumptions beyond necessity
Presuppose -any- god, and it won't help a single bit with the problems that you yourself have created. Supposing a god is, itself, multiplying assumptions beyond necessity, and also beyond relevance. The amount of gods, which gods, and whatever the fuck they say, are all completely and utterly irrelevant to whether or not there are moral facts, and if there are, what those moral facts might be.
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!
