Is it anti-God, unethical?
If it was "anti-God, unethical" then all of the stuff we put in the air, the trees we cut down, the coal we dig up, etc. would be "anti-God, unethical", and I don't think any of us here believe that (I do know of some Christian sects that do think along those lines...but they aren't on the internet I'm guessing).
In regards to the overall questions..could we/should we...I think it's eventually going to happen. We can't limit ourselves just to one planet - if something happened, the human race would be screwed. There's also that contingent that thinks we've screwed up here, let's go somewhere else - of course that'll just end up screwed up as well, lol.
It's in our nature, at least in the nature of the American culture to do things like this (and by proxy the cultures that make up what we call American culture - Spanish, English, German, Dutch, etc.). We've supressed it for a long time time now, and various groups want you to believe that it was all a big mistake, but I think we are almost ready to make the next leap.
If I were a younger man, I'd very much be interested in actually going when the time came. My family first came to Florida and later Texas, from Spain 400 and 500 years ago, and I think it would be fitting for somebody in the family to do the same when it comes to Mars.
