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

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.
So unless you got your god concept from anything other than any of the old or new testament, you are flat-out lying. And if you're arguing for a god that does not kill, or has any other attributes other than the tired 'well everything needs a designer except our designer', I'd love to know what you're basing that on.
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?
