But again, Morality is an act or deed we do or do not do... The atonement offered is what Christ/God did on the cross. We had nothing to do with this as we donot did not bring about our own atonement. How is atonement another form of morality?
Oh bullshit, Drich. Your response to sin is to shuck off your responsibilities in this world for belief in a solution by magic. That is what you suggest we do and it's immoral. You can judge the morality of such a system. And your god's standard is only absolute in the sense that it doesn't change. That's dogma, not a code of morals, as evidenced by Christians moving away from it over time. Exactly what is or is not moral is not defined by a biblical set of laws; nor is what requires a response defined by such a code. That's just the primitive pop morality of a primitive people. No god involved.
