The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact measuring them both by a standard, saying that one of them conforms to that standard more nearly than the other. But the standard that measures two things is something different from either. You are, in fact, comparing them both with some Real Morality, admitting that there is such a thing as real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people’s ideas get nearer to that real Right than others. Or put it this way. If your moral ideas can be truer, and those of the Nazis less true, there must be something—some Real Morality—for them to be true about.

There is a problem here--you ignorantly confuse personal morality with societal morality. Morals only come from altruism. Nice try, though.
The real problem is that YOU confuse personal morality with OBJECTIVE morality. There is an objective moral law given by the Moral Lawgiver.
Morals from "altruism" are very, very subjective. Nice try though.
How do you know logic came from god and not people?
Because if people are just an evolved bunch of goo, then all your brain is, is a bunch of mush with atoms, etc, just firing around without purpose.
Logic is the process of a rational mind, which has to be programed by an intelligence.
