Quote - I predict this thread will now go downhill faster than Gary Glitter's career. 

Who's Garry Glitter?
Oh... right... ;-)

Well, the thread seems to be surviving at least, no major downward spiral as of yet.

RE: morality...
Whose morality? Even among the monotheistic religions based on God/Allah/Yahweh - Christianity. Islam, Judaism - there is no consensus on morality.
I don't know enough about Islam and Judaism to give too many examples, but I know plenty about the various Christian denominations, and they all have their own versions of morality - what is a "sin" and what is not and so on.

The only real morality worth subscribing to is the societal morality that we really need...

One commandment, no God required:
Thou shalt not do stupid shit.

There's your morality for you, and nothing more is required. It's up to the individual to determine what's stupid and what's not, and if a person doesn't know what is or isn't, his society's laws have some pretty good suggestions, and the local jails and morgues and hospitals can offer some pretty good examples of why it's a great commandment. ;-)
