Morality is shades of gray.

Illogical.

Morality is rooted entirely in the presupposition some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior...

Categorical logic proves this, as did Socrates in Plato's Euthyphro.

Nope. Most fanatics and some of the most evil people in the world believe that they are 'moral' and 'right'. That is why I stated that 'morality' is subjective in that it individually deals with each person's own 'moral' code of right and wrong.

Now logic on the other hand is clearly definable and as such more safer to use in one's personal judgement.
