That's exactly what I said: you're proposing a moral system that disappears without god involved, which is subjective by definition, and then attempting to call it objective, which it isn't, in an attempt to make it seem more important than it is. If it vanishes without god, then it's a subjective morality based on god's opinions, and not an objective one. Why should I care what god's opinions on morality are, where they conflict with my lived experiences in a world he won't even deign to enter for a second?
