Within your logical framework, rape could just as easily be a universal good; that would just mean 1) the source of universal morality is a dick and 2) we're collectively mistaken in our "intuition" or "knowledge" or whatever that rape is generally wrong.

The point I'm trying to make is this: everything you've said so far is DESCRIPTIVE of an unprovable position, but there's a massive ontological gap between describing the consequences of your logical assumptions/axioms and the real world.

WHO are you addressing?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
