You already know the answer that will be given, and are hoping for the answer you want to hear.
Grow up, Chad. Just because one book is easier to read than a bunch of them doesn't mean that book is all you need.
Actions and behavioral decisions are selected for and become part of a moral code insofar they help the survival of the species.
We understand you have a need for a celestial parent figure directing your morality. Humanity on the whole does not. There are exceptions, and sometimes those exceptions are able to ride to power because of your need for a parental figure to be directed by and subservient to.
This "morality from authority" penchant of yours causes more harm than good.
