"This requires you to dismiss any other approaches to moral grounding." I do believe that objective ethics are properly grounded in the character of unchanging personal Creator. I don't see how that that "requires" me to dismiss your view if you can provide a rational and cohesive ground for your view. The conundrum it seems to me is all yours. Knowing objective good and evil exist and yet being unable to account for them within your philosophical system must be somewhat frustrating. "I am hoping that you can accept - on faith, if needed - that I do have a moral philosophy that, in practice, you'd recognize as good." I don't need faith to see that you are a sincere and decent person who I would have no difficulty getting along with. If you and I had a moral long jump contest, you might very well win. Unfortunately neither of us can ever come close to meeting the mark set by God's Law or even our own standards. For that, we need God to come to our rescue.
