I'd like to bite on the morals issue with you.

Though I do believe that morals come from our Creator, I have an explanation of morals for those that do not believe in a Creator.

Morals are the summation, or the proxy, for thousands of years of human trial and error. Behaving in "immoral" ways, most of the time, results in negative consequences occurring (unless you're in present day USA, where leftists force the producers to absorb the consequences of others' bad choices).
So, anyway, over long periods, cultures developed around these observations of SUCCESSFUL vs NONSUCCESSFUL lifestyles and behaviors, from which our definitions of MORAL & IMMORAL value judgements come from.

I want to reiterate, this is not my deeply held belief about morals, but it is an explanation to use on the godless leftists as to why the Western cultural values are by definition superior.

That's exactly what I believe (if there is no God). You just said it better.
