I believe, as I have already stated, that morality is a separate issue from legality. You don't. I understand that, I just happen to disagree with it.
I've stated my case and explained my beliefs. Repeating the same arguments serves no useful purpose here except to waste my time and energy, so I shall bow out of this debate at this point.

No I agree with you. There is no ultimate arbiter for morality, but I'm trying to understand where someone who doesn't subscribe to any religion or philosophy as to where their morals originate, or at least how we can all live in harmony without having to "wear our morality on our sleeves."
My own morality is a combination of legal, religion, and philosophy studies. I try to find a balance of the 3, and in the absence of religion and philosophy I'm left with only legal as a guideline.
