Having some kind of universally applicable ground for morality is a difference that makes a difference with respect to human dignity, something that is either merely asserted or missing entirely from non-theistic moral systems. Also, it is very important to have agreement that something is before having a discussion about what something it. Otherwise, you're just talking past one another.
Great, so let's agree God is the ground for morality (as opposed to relying on concepts such as pain and happiness and such), then what? What does this say about what the moral system is like?
