Where do you get your morals? From your god. You have none of your own.

Do you think that there is a "my morals" and a "your morals"?   Do "your morals" apply to me?  Is morality something that we just make up or are free to change if it causes issues?  

I also don't understand your implied issue with the statement(question) "you have none of your own".  It's like asking, where do you get your physics from.   Don't you have your own physics?    Now I have my own view and understanding of physics and morality.  But it doesn't start and end with me, for either of them.  Hopefully, my understanding of these things matches the reality of the world outside of me.  I don't see where each of us having our own morality is a good thing, and if true, then moral outrage, when another morality doesn't line up with your own is unreasonable.  Even with the theory that society decides morality, you then don't are not a moral authority of your own, meaning that this statement doesn't make sense.   And then you can not coherantly complain, if society doesn't grant you rights, that you think are moral, nor can you complain that  another society is behaving immortally. 

I see this as an inconsistency in worldview.  People say one thing, but haven't really thought through the implications of what that view means.   If you think that the world is this way, then I think that your actions should follow accordingly.   If you cannot do this, then perhaps you should re-examine your worldview.
