Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

Yes, because apart from an objective standard, there is no basis for saying that anything is "right" or "wrong". It's just your opinion v. my opinion.

And I have NOT said you don't have a moral compass because:

A. It is possible for non-believers to ACT in a moral fashion, and 
B. This ability is the direct result of God's placement of a moral compass (Natural Law) within us.

Paul wrote:

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

We observe the universe and see God's handiwork in the ordering of the stars and the seasons and the plants and animals.

We observe human behavior and see right and wrong from universally accepted objective moral values.

No sorry, quoting a holy book is what every religion does.

Of course. Like scientists are still relying on some of the laws of physics and mathematics and chemistry that were laid down long ago. Duh.

And no, morals are NOT universal in the context of human invented religion. 

Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our evolution, not old comic books. Not the bible, not the Quran not the Vedas, none of them.

That was then this is now. It was understandable back the that people wrote those things and others bought those things. We have a much better scientific understanding of evolution and the universe now.

Okay, so Stalin evolved to kill millions of his own people without giving it a second thought. That was just "survival of the fittest".
