You didn't. I didn't. Just present it.
"If God's morality (enforcement if you prefer) can change with time then you lose all ability to judge another's morality. If it can change with time it can change with each and every individual all the time. The man that goes out and murders prostitutes can argue that is what his morality told him to do - and you can't prove he didn't get that from God."

I have REASON to eat less fat. That does not mean I am MOTIVATED to do so.
Crikey. Now, answer the question re the thought experiment or bugger off.
Moving the goalposts I see. You have argued for an afterlife as a consequence of your morality:
" First, what I am arguing is that there would need to be an afterlife for moral instructions to exist. That's a conditional. "
Which is the point I was addressing.
Your thought experiment is of no relevance.
