Does that make sense?

In the sense that it is your opinion, sure. It just seems odd to claim life is pointless unless there is an unprovable first cause directing the show. It’s like playing through and enjoying a game under the assumption that it was created by a certain developer, finding out you were wrong in your assumption and throwing out what you enjoyed regardless. Only in your case, you’ll never find out.

This bring us of course to the notion of absolute morality something that of course cannot be proven


but all must concede whether you believe in a supernatural notion or not that the construct of absolute morality can only exist within the framework of an external possibility of an absolute morality.

Again, this is just philosophical navel gazing. It’s like you were taking solipsism seriously and saying “you can’t prove to me I’m not the entirety of existence, therefore an absolute morality can have only one cause - me”. You’re constructing an unprovable view of reality in which the only right answer is one you like.

I can say that I am not purposely engaging in verbal chicanery.

This made me laugh. Not that I don’t believe you, it’s just hilariously phrased. Reminded me of this:
