Can you have morality and an ethical code without a God?

Yes, and I find the implication of the opposite to be mildly offensive.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking this personally, as I'm assuming you don't mean to offend or attack anyone in particularly, but merely to start a dialogue on the subject, which I applaud.
The godless are just as likely to be good or evil as anyone else. If you don't buy this, I have some interesting statistics regarding prisoner populations and religiosity.

I agree. We should fear putting the perceptions of what a faith would consider just and moral as a means to judge others.

I think it is very possible to have an ethical code without belief in God, but true morality looks to eternal values.
A moral code follows laws higher than self, while ethics looks to self for guidance.
In my humble opinion.
