Thats my point. if that is all what morality is, acts like rape and murder are neither right or wrong.

All you people keep on saying i that there certain acts are right or wrong morally. If you say this you are ADMITTING to OM.
I admit no such thing. Stop pretending to read our minds.
Until otherwise demonstrated, all morality is subjective -- including morality that allegedly comes from a god.
The god of the Bible is a particularly egregious and ugly example of this. It sets up the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" but violates it regularly, with wild abandon. If there is an objective standard upon which the commandment is based, Yahweh is in clear violation of it and accordingly can be ignored as an authority on morality.
Subjective morality is simple: If you don't want it to happen to you, don't do it to someone else.
As the author of life he has the right to remove anyone from this temporal existence to another existence as he sees fit.
