They are right or wrong in the eyes of the law. Our local laws are a reflection of our morals. eg: don't steal my land, I won't steal yours. Don't rape my daughter, I won't rape yours, etc. Pretty straight forward laws for a society to thrive. What tells you which parts from the bible you cherry pick (I assume you do, unless you like raping and slaves, etc) to consider moral acts? Does God magically do the cherry picking of his own inerrant book for you or does your ape instincts guide you? If I punch you in the face and it hurts, that's bad, right? Because it hurts! No God needed to tell you that. Not only are we just glorified apes still, but we have jails and millions of laws to remind us to not act instinctively as if we were still in the jungle.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
