-And all of this has what to do with morality?
What about things being moral or immoral, in fact or opinion, is odd without some invocation of a god? Does a god supply you with your every moral apprehension in real time, such that none are your own? Was it god or your human parents that account for your human faculties?
I see a human being. I know that human beings are capable of moral apprehensions. Moral apprehensions either are or are not factual. Could you specifically identify what the odd part of that is…because “all of life” will get us nowhere without being even remotely relevant.
It’s worth pointing out that if -everything- is odd… the word you’re actually looking for is normal. Morality is normal, in that it’s like everything else.
Even more quixotically, is being odd a problem for you at all? I presume you’re a monotheist…that would make god rather odd…wouldn’t it? There’s just the one, and it’s unlike anything else.
