How many metaethical frameworks are there not involving a magical sky wizard? Dear god man, crack open a book and start reading. We have deontology, consequentialism, non-cognitivism, virtue ethics, just to name a few off the top of my head. 

If every system is possible, you have no system.

This is a non-sequitur fallacy. Learn about what possible means in the context of philosophical discourse. It simply entails internal consistency. Simply because various systems are internally consistent does not mean that certain systems are not superior to other systems of thought. And that is what is argued in the literature.

Most philosophers are moral realist and adopt moral realist stances such as a few I've already mentioned - e.g. consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics. Other philosphers, including Hume, do not subscribe to the idea that metaethical statements are propositional which is to say that they cannot be evaluated to true or false (and at times are not even coherent); this is known as non-cognitivism. You might review Hume's razor for instance.

If only those without would stop pretending to be those with, and simply accept the free education lesson.
