The point was that without God, there is no magnetic field.
My point is that with or without god, there is no way to ascertain such a field unless it is through your own sense of rationality.

If there is a God, essentially an extremely powerful knowledgeable creator of our universe, then what basis do you have for deciding that his north is not true north?
This is the point! My basis is the same as your basis. We use our OWN rationality and sense of morality! If not, then we are back to being the dog that poops outside and doesn't know why. We are essentially nothing more than robots and our own sense of morality doesn't matter one bit. But...

Concerning your final question, if "God" told me to do something that I felt was heinous, I would not do it.
You would not do it, because you'd be using your OWN sense of morality! You'd be so sure it isn't right that you would first think you were hallucinating, before thinking it was the morally correct thing to do. So where does that come from? It can't be god!
Quote:
The simplest reason is that I could not be sure that it was actually God. I could be mentally unstable and hearing voices for example.
Exactly. You cannot know whether your god is moral without using your own sense of morality to make that judgment. So you are getting into circular reasoning: We cannot know what is moral without god. How do you know your god is moral? Because my morality tells me so.
YOU decide what's moral. Not god.

Finally, you could try to stipulate that I somehow "knew" it was God. But that stipulation cannot be admitted because I can not rationally differentiate between "knowing" and "perfectly deceived". Therefore no matter what I "knew" I would always rationally have to contend with the concept that I was "perfectly deceived" and would act appropriate to the moral framework I have created through my reading and prayer.
I agree with everything except the last part... It is not the moral framework from reading and prayer. It is the moral framework that is both innate through evolution and what you have developed from living in a civilized society. I find it sad that you think your morality comes from a book and through prayer. You're giving yourself too little credit. As someone (I'm not sure who) once said: You are more moral than your god, and just don't know it.
