Like I said - Assuming I am God, why are you disagreeing with me? Tackle that.

"Real" is defined to mean 'actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed'.

If morality is subjective, people would imagine evil to be different things. So therefore evil would not be 'real'.

Damage and death are real, Deception is real. Coercion is real. People are real. Their behaviour is real.

Assuming that you are God is a false assumption that can easily be demonstrated to be false.

I have already addressed this. Why are you asking me about it again?

Sure but if morality is subjective no one has to agree that any action really is evil.

Or this one: Assuming that I were God, and assuming it were not a false assumption, why would you disagree with me?

I've already addressed this. Ask someone else about it.

I could disagree with you but if you were in fact God your word would be final and my personal feelings, tastes, or opinions would be irrelevant in the end.

Assuming the Hindus are right about everything, and you know it, why aren't you a Hindu?

If Hindus were right about everything and I knew it I would be a Hindu.

So you believe Christianity is right about everything, and you believe the Hindus are not right about everything, so you are a Christian, and you are not a Hindu. This is the realm of your subjectivity, not objectivity.

Assuming Christianity is a big mistake, and you knew it, and assuming you were still a Christian anyway, why would you still be a Christian?
