But that was my argument: If God is all powerful and God is the source of morality, God can come up with any old morality he wants, which seems to make ethics arbitrary. so if ethics isn't arbitrary, God can't be the source. Ethical relativism/meaninglessness is not the logical consequence of either a universe without God or a universe in which God himself had no choice when it came to deciding what's moral and what's not. When I asked, "What does religious tolerance mean?" and gave three possible interpretations, you opted for choice four, explaining that as Christians we are told to let the wheat and the tares grow up together and let God sort it out. My choice # 1 explained tolerance as "I'm right, your wrong and doomed, but I won't kill you. We'll let God sort it out." So I'm not sure why you didn't like choice #1. Why do you end your argument with a tautology? It goes without saying that your're either right or your not.
