Whether or not you believe that god created morality is irrelevant with regards to the possibility of moral choices. Lets put it this way. You and I can both make paper airplanes -because it is possible to make paper airplanes-. The idea that a paper airplane wouldn't be possible -unless I, specifically, created it-...ignores that you are also capable of creating them. Just as claiming that there could not be moral choices unless god created morality ignores that I am also capable of manufacturing moral systems, opportunities for moral choice (and then making those choices as well).
Yes, yes, you think my manufactured morality is wrong and gods manufactured morality is right.....but that doesn't actually matter.
