The law is in your hearts, this is why it seems obvious to you, but you can easily override the laws, as i am sure we have all done many hundreds of times in our lives. The important thing is the realization that they are Gods laws.
So, if there is no god, morals are unimportant? Morals are not god's laws. No god has ever been proven, much less a particular god or what that particular god's rules are. I don't believe in god, but I do believe in morality. And most people can agree on it's fundamentals. It's when we use holy texts to interpret morals that we end up tying ourselves up in knots of twisted logic justifying the immoral things gods of one sort or another have required.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
