"None of the people I quoted were Christians. THAT was the point: that non Christians were chock full of morality!!"

Yes, and none of them established their positions based on your criteria of reason alone.

I still say the empathy part is just an emotional crutch for reason to lean on.

"You thought that Pedohilia (as an example of harming others) could not be considered immoral on the basis of REASON and EMPATHY, but required the supernatural Christian God to pronounce it as either right or wrong!"

No, I am challenging you to prove, or demonstrate by pure reason alone, that anything is objectively wrong, or right for that matter, from a position of moral relativity. So far your not even close. You are the one quoting the Theists so it looks like you're closer to my position than I am to yours.
