>>( and by God that I mean the charitable/loving Judeo-Christian God )<<
what bible are you reading from?
the charitable/loving god who commanded israel to destroy it's enemies root and branch?
eye for an eye? charatible?

>>All kinds
of atrocities and wrongs have been committed by man
on man in the name of some moral standard.<<

i agree with you on this one.
but people often disagree on the nature of evil.
good/evil is relative in our universe. if i eat deer meat, it is good for me, but bad for the deer, correct?
no one ever (unless they are agreeably insane) believes they are evil.

morals, in my understanding, are usually something like "we don't eat pork, becouse it is unclean"
ethics are a social construct instituted becouse people need top know what is or is not permitted of them within the society they are living.
ethics are usually based off of human nature (ie. don't kill others or all the others will get together to kill you)
and the like.

there are allways people who want to break the rules, tho, no matter how stiff the penalty
