There's no difference between your claim and mine. There are no perfectly straight lines. By claiming that morality is an absolute, you put yourself on the same plane with the idea of straightness. There is no proof of God, as there aren't any totally straight lines. The problem is that you're wrong to assume morality is absolute. It absolutely isn't. Morality is a human invention that cannot be measured in absolutes - it's always evolving and changing, and there is no "top" and no "bottom". To measure a philosophical idea such as morality, you'd have to make stuff up, which is exactly what we do in describing deities that we ourselves imagined.
