It seems to me that morality exists in the state that it does due to the nature of human beings.
If the nature of humanity changed, if the nauture of out physical structure changed, if our instincts changed, do you think we would still have the same morality?
Does it follow that morality, if it is an eternal concept, would apply the same to another species of thinking beings whose bodily structure and needs were completely separate from that of humans?

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
