I am interested not just in the physical evidences to the realities of life, but in the metaphysical evidences as well. Therefore I believe I must not allow the reductionism of this present age to eliminate the metaphysical in ethical dialogue.

I would say that killing one another because there is a disagreement about which god is bigger is a sign of a problem.

Not terrible would begin with developing a science of morality and taking morality out of the hands of priests, rabbis, and preachers.

But you haven't answered my question, have you? I'm not interested in discussing individual choices, such as the death penalty etc.

I am interested in knowing where you would find your base for what is right or wrong. What would be your bright-line test? And how would you "logically" impose that same bright-line on everyone else?

People don't all agree on everything, yet many of us all do have a bright-rule that is provided to us by our God. This is the base of our logical determinations of what is good and right, and what crosses the line to what is not good and not right.
