@getabible they are instilled, but through natural selection, not god. Anything that is innate in us is evolved by our species. The reason incest is almost universally immoral in humans is because it is a biological disaster. Really, it makes sense in a survival sense when you look at morals from an evolutionary perspective. Morals are not objective, they are simply survival tools.
@getabible sadly it is. I am an Atheist and I don't like it as much as you do. Morals are just an extension of our neurological systems, and neurological systems evolve. If you analyze morals you will realize that it goes back to a method of survival. With intelligence comes conscience, and with conscience comes self awareness, and with that comes the facade of "morals".
I completely agree. Well done.
