The universe, logic, nature, math..morality....these aren't actually things that anyone is in the dark about. He may think that other peoples explanations are wrong..but wouldn't it be hilarious if the whole world had been stumbling around in the dark to explain why it's bad to curbstomp your neighbors kid..and...somehow, the real answer to that question is "because christ".
You're right, there's no one questioning the universe, logic, nature, math, or morality. There's no questions of origins. There's no philosophy of math. There's no epistemology. Everyone always agrees on morality. There aren't thousands of years of people questioning everything in your list. All of mankind sits in perfect harmony on all of these topics because they are so self evident who would question them. That's perhaps your most astute observation (except for when you called me an asshole). The reality is you assume all of these things without justification, which, to be honest, is the opposite of what sophisticated thinkers do.

Meanwhile, we're left wondering whether you truly believe that other people either
A - are completely unable to explain whatever moral system they hold to
or
B - have no moral system whatsoever, cuz protoplasm.
You don't hurt my feelings. From your worldview it doesn't matter. You can't say anything that has meaning so it doesn't hurt.
I'm sure you can explain your moral system, just not justify it. I'm also sure it will bounce around like flubber when I start to challenge it.
