between your belief that there is no God and your belief that there is such a thing as morals.
If there is no God, and everything in existence is due to a random collection of molecules that all necessarily act and react according to the laws of nature, how is there such a thing as morality?
If a lion eats a human being is he being immoral? He is acting according to his nature after all. If some guy feels like raping a woman and does so, how is that immoral? He's acting according to his nature. Or what if he gets really angry at someone and kills him. Why is that "immoral"? That is no more immoral than one dog killing another dog while fighting over some food... or a female dog... or just for guarding his territory.
