Viz, you've been schooled by a dozen of your logical betters on this one.
Your morality is as subjective as anyone's because it's based on your OPINION that the biblical God is real and your OPINION that he instills morality.

Read this thread alone and you'll see that I've exposed all sorts of holes in their logic.
I was responding to a poster that suggested there was "no evidence" for the existence of God. I gave 3 specific arguments that are very good arguments. Each of them is evidence for it. You can continue with the charade that there is no evidence if you want, but it's a lie. You just haven't seen any evidence you like.
And you continue to insist that there is evidence, yet no proof of this god of yours.
The lie is you insisting that only you know the truth and anyone who disagree with you just has to be wrong.
BTW, your statement that you haven't seen any evidence you like applies to you and all of your arguments.

And again, arguments are not evidence. I can make the argument that a purple elephant lives under my bed, but that does not provide evidence that a purple elephant lives under my bed.
Short answer: No . . . but God is . . . otherwise morality is a vapid and vacuous term dependent upon human caprice. Unfortunately, we cannot escape the pragmatic reality that we have to subjectively determine the specifics of morality.

The concept of morality comes from God. It becomes legitimate because God exists and establishes a purpose for our existence.

Only indirectly . . . God establishes our purpose and our purpose defines morality. What is constructive to our purpose is moral. What is destructive to our purpose is immoral. What has nothing to do with our purpose is amoral.
