This seems like a fair criticism. If the discussion is "Is God moral given XYZ?", it seems that you'd have to accept XYZ for purpose of the discussion to even have the discussion.
Now, a lot of these discussions seem to quickly change to arguments of semantics, definitions, or even nonfalsifiable claims. A better way to address that would be to simply state "your position is nonfalsifiable and I don't grant you those assumptions", which likely becomes an "agree to disagree".
That is certainly a more honest exchange than to say "Well, I don't believe in XYZ, so this conversation is dumb".
