I think morality should concern us mostly if we apply the same standards we have for each other to God..it's definitely not going to make sense. It will be like little babies making comparisons with adults. God as a power, authority figure or guiding light is on a whole different level.

Ah, so you accept that morality is subjective, then.

Subjective morality implies or means "learned" to a certain degree but there is clear evidence of the opposite everywhere around us.animals taking care of its children or acting a certain way...who taught them? So if it's possible for them I think it's possible for us also

No, that's not what "subjective" means. Subjective morality is the acceptance of differing moral standards based on the subject (actor) of a given act.

It should also be pointed out that simply because a majority of humans agree that something is moral, that does not mean any act is moral. I can imagine why people would reject your example of child rape that have nothing to do with the higher thinking of human morality -- for instance, the fact that concern for children is a basic human quality arising from our evolution as a species with a long and helpless childhood. That is, of course, exactly why other animals take care of their young. Surely even you can see the survival value of involved child-rearing in animals with a long juvenile period.

Your post is simply a long-winded act of begging the question.
