You might as well have said that god is objectively good, because he is bacon.
Quote:If you or anyone wants to continue this discussion, please differentiate between objective and subjective good.
If you had a subjective moral compass before you converted, and somehow found the wherewithal to figure out which things were good and which were bad, then you already know the answer to your "fill in the blanks" question from a few pages back. The only difference between you and I, from the perspective of an atheist, is that you've chosen- erroneously- to attribute the morals you already have to a fictitious creator being.
Incidentally, if you had a subjective moral compass that you used to select your "objective" standard in god, then this objective standard is mostly useless, and itself subjective. How is it objective if it's entirely opt-in? How is it objective if it contains numerous moral evils (you're not into slavery, I assume?)?
