Let me make this simple for you.
True propositions are tied to reality in some way. The proposition "The universe is 13.8 billion years old" is true and it's tied to reality. We are able to measure the age of the universe.
You allege the proposition "It's evil to randomly kill people" is true. Great. But since you believe the proposition is true, then it must be tied to something in reality. What is it tied to?
You are being "prompted," you dingus. But under atheism, this "prompting" is from a mindless and unguided natural processes. Has this thought never occurred to you?
You should be asking yourself where your moral values and duties come from if God doesn't exist.
Answer: a mindless and unguided natural process.
