Conscience and the Moral Argument as Evidence for the Goodness of God.

RE: Conscience and the Moral Argument as Evidence for the Goodness of God.

Do you have an argument by which you demonstrate the above? I'd be interested to hear it. Or is it just something that seems self-evident to you? 

Quote:As for the god of the Bible, if it actually did exist and had deliberately created a place for sentient beings to be tormented for eternity, that one action would make it a being of infinite evil.  No amount of good intentions or "holiness" can wave that away.

If someone were to claim that if the God of the Bible isn't real then morality must just be subjective, that would be a false dichotomy. There are systems of virtue ethics and moral realism which argue for objective morality without any reference to a God. 

I'm no expert in these systems, but I'd be interested in hearing your refutations of them.
