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

One post ago it was "god is identical with good", now its "god has attributes". Or are you saying that "good" (god) has many attributes "in plentitude"? How can "good" have other attributes than being....well, good?

Ok, you are shifting the goalposts. Now its "god is goodness" instead of "god is good". Or are you saying that "god is identical to good and goodness itself"?
Wtf is "goodness" anyway? My guess would be something....something essential, or necessary or.....transcendent, with perfect plentitude of the highest order? Something along these lines i bet.

Oh, wow. Now he is not only good, and goodness itself, but the source of all goodness everywhere. Are you saying that god (goodness) is ...what... the source of himself everywhere? Or did he split up to be everywhere.....ahhh, omnipresence, eh?

Ohh, wait.....Wisdom, Holiness?....where did you just pull that suddenly out of...oh, i think we all know. But why not Saltiness? I love salty food! I really do.

But they exist Objectively and prior to any will of ours. This Goodness, which comes from God, and which we His creatures can reflect in certain amounts to the extent that we obey His Eternal Moral Law, finds its Source in God. Thus, God is not constrained or moved by an external standard of Goodness, but is Himself the Source of All Goodness. The more good and holy a creature becomes, the closer it moves toward God. God's commands, to do good and avoid evil, whether already known to us by our Conscience, or confirmed in e.g. the Ten Commandments, or Two Great Commandments of Christ, manifest His Goodness. God has made Nature a certain way, and studying Nature, and examining our Conscience, we can discover Good and Evil. We don't invent it because it is not Subjective, but we do discover it, the same as we do with Mathematical or Scientific Facts, because it is Objective.
What i am perceiving is this:

Do i sound a bit silly? Its just a consequence of your word games.
