Your attempt at a red herring distraction aside...what exactly is your basis for stating that something is moral or immoral? If there is no God, and we are just chemical reactions happening..how can anything we do be immoral?
I'm STILL waiting for you to give me anything other than your opinion regarding morality.
Thats what morality is at the end of the day...what ought and ought not do. An opinion.
Your god's morality is simply wrapped up in your own predisposed and biased interpretations of old books based upon what appeals to you.
My morality is also skewed by what appeals to me...but I get the added bonus of using my own reasoning to determine whether we all ought to do what appeals to me...rather than simply stating it as "god's word".

I feel sorry for you, then. You have no definitive way to suggest that Adolph Hitler was wrong to do what he did.

As you said above, this is just an opinion. So why should we value your opinion? Why should anyone believe that your morality is correct?
Sure I do...I definitively assert that Hitler was morally wrong to torture and kill millions of people.
There....that wasn't so hard. How bout you agree with me and we'll gather consensus?
But since your opinion has no authority over him or anyone else, it's not really relevant.

Maybe because you agree with it (mostly)? And I'm real.
It's still, in the end, simply your opinion. It's non-binding to anyone other than yourself.
I'm still waiting for an answer other than an opinion. Do you have one?
So if we cannot answer everything about the universe...including some inanely appealing concept you have for objective morality right here & now....you are going to choose "goddunnit"?
This is your rationale for objective morality? How do you even get out of bed without being instructed to do so?

Unless you've got a better answer, that's what I'm going with. But you don't. No atheist has ever been able to give me anything other than their opinion on the topic of morality.
