1: How, evidence? Can you pin down a single moral absolute which you are willing to demonstrate?
2: How, evidence? Renaming morality (and assuming that it is ultimate, timeless, and unchanging without demonstrating that it is so) leads to the god you wish to exist exactly how?
3: Why is there such a need? Who feels this need? Evidence? When are we "wrong", when have we twisted our morality, twisted from what, you're going to have to demonstrate 1, before 2 or 3 have any merit whatsoever.
These aren't arguments, they're just assumptions with no evidence or justification to back them.
"I assume therefore morality exists as described, and I hereby rename this god" Well, I assume that cheerios exist, I hereby rename cheerios god. I can demonstrate that cheerios exist, ergo my cheerio god exists in ways that yours does not. IOW, in every way.
