Your feeble explanations fail for the same reason pagan moral systems do.
Pagan moral systems lacked neuroscience. Neuroscience is part of Nature towards which god directed the attention of Job.
The answer is both. I'm a human being who simulates society from remembering being part of that society, and as time goes by, there is drift from my perception of good and my perception of society's perception of good. Thus, the dichotomy, to become a Moral Agent, or an Agent of Morality.
