Replacing Religious Morality

[Neo-Scholastic]

1) God chose to create people he says would be better off never having been created...It's a logical paradox.

That's an excellent way of pointing out the absurdity of some atheist's arguments.

...God has a genuine claim to authority over my behavior. The rest of those things are just conditioning...Murder...covered that one with jail...Murder and serious theft carry to many practical consequences for me to consider it.

You have correctly identified the difference between a natural and spiritual avoidance of evil. To avoid evil because you fear punishment or loss of reputation is to be good out of self interest, or love of self. If your actions are informed by love of self you steer your course towards Hell.

To avoid evil because it is sin, "missing the mark", comes from love of the Lord and love of neighbor as self. This sets you on a course to Heaven.

Maybe I'm just a crazy sociopath.

No. You are being honest about the logical consequences of atheism. Congratulations on avoiding the delusions of your compatriots.
