In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

How do we know that a child will understand the significance of the ball, and such things as cooperation and mischief.

70% head for the good puppet.

which is considered a significant deal to make some claim on it.

I think unicorns have a higher chance of existing than gods do. I mean, if a mare fell into the ocean and a narwhal raped it, then the mare might just give birth to a unicorn.

No. Morals are true and correct because the all-knowing (note: all-knowing) entity says they are. It's a belief. "What if it's lying?" is irrelevant. If you want to go down that rabbit hole, then nothing should be accepted as true, since it could be a lie or a figment of your imagination. That computer you're using? Purely your imagination. People say it exists? They're imagining it as well, or maybe they're lying. Now the computer is no different than supernatural beings.
Morals do not require a supernatural being to be created. To say other morals are false with the only backing being "it's a belief" is pretty weak. Honestly, if you're gonna argue about intention, then you shouldn't be saying that they were determined by a supernatural being, because the only moral code we've been given by such a being refers to direct actions. Anything beyond that isn't given to you by the christian god.
If such a God doesn't exist, that wouldn't mean we should doubt everything. "If that God exists, but is lying," doesn't seem to make sense in itself as an idea. If you're referring solely to that, then I apologize for making a claim in error. But if you're referring the the former at all, then the rest is silly.

The only morality is objective morality. That requires an all-knowing being who can tell you what is or isn't undeniably right/wrong.

"The only morality," and "the morality I think is correct" are two separate things.

That still has nothing to do with my spiritual views. And aren't you a Christian?

That's what I was thinking. It doesn't sound like Christianity at all. But there are churches that are political and not at all Christian (leftist "social justice" and what not), so maybe he belongs to one of those.
