What does being able to use magic have to do with morals, anyway? Ok I can't poof something into existence. So what? I haven't seen anyone else do it. I, with a woman, can say today we will make a baby. Then make it happen. Babies don't get made without a man and woman having sex. except for many stories about virgin births that wouldn't happen in modern day. Film every woman on the planet, 24/7, and I guarantee you none of them will get pregnant on their own. Nor will we see Humans popping into existence out of nothing.
Yes, we have something in us that tells us the basic rules for the survival of a group. That's called evolution, brought on by the fact that we're a social species. It's easily explained by natural means, without the need to say Vishnu wrote it on our hearts.
I can safely claim there's most likely no god, due to having no solid evidence for it, and the fact that everything we've ever had an explanation for has been explained through natural means. It's an educated guess that doesn't require us to know everything about everything. You have no right to tell me I should live my life by a book written by people who claimed divine inspiration. Even that's not even accurate, because we have no original copies of the books.
You want to say morals are absolute, yet we have a word for unlawful killing. Murder. the fact that we need a word to separate lawful and unlawful killing shows you that ending another person's life is not objectively wrong. It goes back to Yahweh saying killing and stealing are wrong, then orders his followers to kill people in a neighboring tribe and steal their stuff.
If you are afraid of a post being too long, you can feel free to respond to me in one post, and someone else in a separate one. Double posting is usually discouraged in forums, but there is a word limit for posts.
