If you didn't like heavy tasting things, and chocolate tasted heavy...would you like chocolate?
Now, you might say "but I do like heavy tasting things" Well, good for you, but since this is my subjective opinion (and wasn't I perfectly upfront about that?) how is that relevant? How does it erode the compelling nature of my own tastes and how they inform my own opinion- to me?
You might say "but chocolate isn't heavier than vanilla"...and again good for you, but it's more of the above. My subjective opinion is that it is, and because I hold this opinion, combined with the previous opinion, the reasons for my liking vanilla over chocolate cannot be anything but compelling. Still doesn't mean you have to agree. Which is why what began as a subjective opinion or point remains so, even though I can give compelling reasons for holding or having it.
All of this of course serves to highlight something I mentioned way-way back...in that I can elaborate upon my opinions in ways that your god cannot. I'm also upfront about the nature of my opinions in ways that you will not allow your god to be.
