..ah, no.
"Morality" as your using it is nothing more than a pop culture term that describes what a given generation in a given soceity thinks is right or wrong... Did you happen to go into why this soceity's version of right and wrong is somehow superior to all others in your YouTube video?
OK, let's have at it, hoss.
What's your moral standard on the issues above? What's your stance apart from the bible?
Slavery, yes or no?
genocide, yes or no?
rape, yes or no?
If that's pop culture, you should be able to come up with some interesting insights.
It's Real simple sport.
One can not judge the righteousness of God with a trivial standard of pop morality.
They are two seperate ways of judging right and wrong.
Man morality places 'moral value' on a given act. Therefore the acts themselves seem to dictate right and wrong. (But in reality it is man who assigns value to a given act giving man/pop culture the power over right and wrong.) in short 'pop morality' allows a fool the folly needed to allow him to think he is in a place judge God.
In Truth, God's righteousness places right and wrong at His/God's descression, which makes all acts neutral by nature. (Acts hold no intrinsic value in of themselves.) it is what God says concerning a given act, and where you are in accordance of where God wants you to be that determines Righteousness before God. That is why there is an instance in the OT that contradicts just about any given law, by those in whom God finds righteous.
In short, it is what God says about a given act that assigns its "moral value" and not what people think of a given act that makes it right and wrong.

Drich, why do you expect that everyone will just automatically accept your moral relativist claim here? Is nobody else allowed to have a view of morality but you? Or are you just too lazy to defend your position with anything more than haughty dismissal?
Give it time E-lax.
We started with a haughty proposal, I answered with a haughty dismissal. We are working at the OP's pace. I found if I do an info dump at the beginning most new guys will get lost or quickly loose intrest. So the only other option is to do the christian atheist dance the OP is looking for.
If however your ready to jump into the deep end, then give me some parameters and we see how deep you want to go.
