What dialogue? Premise two is false..and trivially so. End of discussion. At least premise one has merit, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Recognition of guidance vs deciding guidance ourselves, the latter being paradoxical.
Let's get past that. And we'll see. Don't twist and turn.

You're the only one with the hangup.
-the moral statement "rape is wrong" is not made more -or- less true by the existence or nonexistence of a god.

Let's get past the basics: do you recognize guidance or do you decide it?

For the umpteenth time, I'm a moral realist. I can no more decide what is or isn't right or wrong than I can decide whether or not the sun rises.

So what is the source of your guidance? Is yourself? Is it a code in your brain written by genetics?
And is dynamic or pre-settled.
If dynamic, how does it grow and adapt.

I'm a moral realist, so my "guidance" is moral fact.

And please don't go this empathy thing again. Answer the questions.

Where is the moral fact written?
How do you perceive it?

Both these answers are very wrong. I will let you assess why.
For number 2, it's really not the same as any perception. For example, it's not the same as how you see the color brown. And it's not the same how you read a sentence and derive it's meaning.
As for 1, it's written somewhere, so again, is it by genetics in your brain or what?
Don't just answer playfully. Really think about it.
Your 2 contradicts your 1.
Because everything you perceive is somewhere, it exists somewhere, even what you imagine exists in your head.
But in 1, you are stating you perceive moral facts which exist no where.
It's no wonder you don't see the moral argument for what it is. You have inconsistency, in your understanding of morality.
It exists no where yet you believed it absolutely. At the very least, you would state like Hammy that they exist in your brain and you are your brain, and hence you guide yourself, but we saw how that was a paradox by definition of guidance and morality.
It becomes self-deciding as opposed to recognition.
