If there was objective morality and it was apart from God (i.e. God commands something because it is good) then why do we need God? Would you be able to live with that thought crawling in the back of your head?

That's why the arguement although interesting from the point of where philosophicaly of how right or wrong (in my opinion but then i'm late into this field os maybe its already been thrashed out to a conclusion before )exists within an Athiest framework its never any real use in a God/no God debate.
