If you go read previous threads where this has been discussed infinitum you'll see that your current line of questioning is redundant.
My morality, as it is today, is not one of preference. Do you believe, for example, that I could just go out today and commit murder on a whim, even though this is counter to my developed moral framework, established through life's influences and education?! Do you not understand that my morality is integral to my very being, even without a God to ground it in?

If you did commit a murder you would be able to justify it, since you believe there are no moral absolutes. Based upon your personal preference you could theoretically justify any action if you believe there are no moral absolutes.

Well it sure isn't because someone else decided you should do it.

You have an almost inhuman understanding of morality.
Thank goodness you have a God to tell you what to do.
