It may make it desirable, preferable, but not right or wrong.
There is no such thing as a moral act. Only what we perceive as moral.
You cannot objectively define morals, you can only subjectively define them. For example: Why is being gay wrong?
"Because God Says so!" is a subjective answer. Why is what god says so moral? If God says "Murder your children" is it immoral to not murder your children?
"Because it's against nature!" is also a subjective answer. Why is going against nature immoral? If it's one's nature to kill, is it immoral NOT to kill then?
There's only subjective answers to the question.
And certainly no 'deeper' or 'ultimate' meaning.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
