How did God create everyone there to be that way? I dont believe has that sort of control over us.

Are you really using that tired ancient argument that atheist can't know morality since they don't know god? As I said many times morality does not come from god but from how we are brought up in our respective societies and how they interpret right from wrong. You don't need a god to know that killing is wrong since killing your own people will stunt the growth of your society and lead eventually to extinction as a race.
That is not real morality. That is relative and cant be applied to anyone but yourself. Killing is only bad on your view based on whether you value human life or not. How highly you value human life is totally subjective. Explain to me why killing is wrong apart from your own bias for humans. What you call morality is very different from what I do.
