If there are no objective morals, as I don't believe there are, and no God, as I don't believe there is: Then I still care about people, because thankfully, I'm a caring person.
How much is 'so much immorality'? If God allowed less you would still complain and if He allowed more you would know no difference since it would be a normal amount inthe world. The case is that there could have been ALOT more suffering too than there is.
But on your reasoning you can't say that it is a good thing that your are caring anyway, because being caring would have no value of its own.
