[ QUOTE ]
If a religous type god exists and is absolutely good then exactly one of the following is true:

My moral sense tells me nothing about what is absolutly right or wrong.
My moral sense is evidence of what is abolutely right or wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]


Suppose the first of these options, then my moral sense which seems to me to tell me what is absolutely right or wrong doesn't tell me anything at all.

It is not the case that the conclusion is wrong but rectifiable with more knowledge, rather my moral sense is a fiction and god deceives me about he wants me to do/believe.

If god deceives me about this then he might deceive me about anything and I have no method of deciding what he wants me to believe.

Hence I cannot believe in any religon unless the second option is true and my moral sense is evidence about what is absolutely right or wrong.


If this is correct then I am going argue from claim 2 and 'my moral sense is evidence about what is absolutely right or wrong' directly to the conclusion.
