"Congratulations!
You have been awarded the TPM medal of honour! This is our highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.
The fact that you progressed through this activity neither being hit nor biting a bullet suggests that your beliefs about God are internally consistent and very well thought out."
Or I'm good at games of sophistry based on symbolic logic, which is basically what this exercise was all about...
To be honest, I think it denies reality a bit to talk about ideas like "morality" as things divorced from a cultural context.
Was def. more than one question that couldn't be answered by "yes or no" in my book. But again, this is how rhetoric wins, by defining the terms by which which it's "okay" to reason.

"It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.” --- Aleister Crowley
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."
--- Stephen Hawking
Therefore, God is a monkey.
