Nah, what matters to me most is the outcome. Kingpin is clearly a good person and has good morality, from what I can tell. That's the important thing.
The thing that worries me most about rationality behind morality being different from simply analyzing consequences is the danger of a sudden shift to the wrong direction... as my scenario points out. But people probably won't answer it because they know they still wouldn't say it's OK for me to kill their family, even if god says so, thus demonstrating that their morality is not simply dependent on god's opinion at all.
