Sorry, Flinty, nothing personal

I don't get it, and I certainly don't get what it proves, because it leaves nearly as much open. To wit, I've long believed that there is a god who at least go things started around the big bang. But I don't see what that tells me about anything since. There could be a heaven and a hell. Or there could not. I could take Pascal's wager, or I could not. But what you seem to be left with is "no human-developed moral code has sufficient teeth and I'm at such a loss as to why (most) humans act morally that the only explanation is god." That seems the least satisfying answer of all.
There is no questions it is weak, but do you have a better one?
