Still no idea what's going on I'm afraid. Thanks for trying.
There is no such thing as "correct" morality. It's based on value judgements. I don't give a monkeys what god's opinion is, if there is such a being.
It gets further complicated in religion: does morality mean doing what's best for people, or doing what God wants? If they are the same thing, God is irrelevant. If they are different, God poisons morality.
If you look at the bible and God and decide whether he is good or not, you already have your morality in place. You can't have it both ways.
