God. I'm sorry I cannot elaborate, but it would really be that simple.

Yes. I know because written language is man made and only used by mankind, at least as it pertains to the Earth.

The answer to that would is obvious. If the god of the bible is real, he obviously set forth some rules.

Yes, moral laws exist, but only insomuch as man has created moral laws which some men force other men to abide by. Some animals, such as dolphins, appear to have morals, but they are not stupid enough to have laws.

Morals are subjective. I would find it wrong, but I am sure many rapists would disagree with me. So, the answer to your question is no. If everyone thought it was fine, including victims, there would be no victims and therefore, no moral wrongdoing.

There are no dangerous religions, only dangerous idiots who follow them.

Philosophers, for the most part. I shy away from the word "law" in this context, however. They are more guidelines and sensical means of coming to a conclusion.

You tell me. You are the one that thinks an omnipotent wizard magicked up the fucking Earth.

Because Christianity is a great crutch. They needed something to lean on, I suppose.

These are not two mutually exclusive things. I belief is a series of thoughts, or a single incorrect thought, in your case.

This is a leading question and I despise such attempts to lure someone into saying something they don't really mean. Let's just say that I am an atheist and semantics are fucking boring.

See above.

I'm not entirely sure. To be honest, I am not sure it "began" on Earth. The building blocks for life here most likely came from elsewhere in the universe.
