Fishteacher, I don't agree that ethics is objective (or as you put it more objective than morality).
Picture yourself for example a man a woman, the man sitting on a chair and eating the woman sitting at his feet eating as well. With the common ethics we would say that not right, why should the woman be lower than the man? Now this couple belongs to a tribe that veneres the ground as the source of everything, so it is actually a honor to eat on the ground. Now how do we put it with our "common ethics"?

And murder can be ethical. By your definition ethical it is if it is logically derived (without theological interferences), there are heaps of logical derivation why a nurder could be ethical. Example: if I don't kill him he might potentially kill me, I don't want to risk that, so I kill him (by this reasoning I should eventually kill all life). It is very logic and without theology.
