Morality is all slippery when religion gets involved. Equivocation fallacies galore.
Morality either means "What god wants" or it means "What is best for the wellbeing of life on Earth". You have to pick one, and stick with it. They have nothing to do with each other, except by coincidence. And how do we know when they overlap? Because we understand what hurts and helps people. We have our own standard.
If all you care about is what god wants, then you don't actually care about the wellbeing of life on Earth.
The idea he'd give us a brain and then tell us to turn it off and just do what we're instructed is baffling.
