If God or “having God in your life” is the only thing that keeps you from “doing bad things” you have no sense of morality on your own. I’m sure I’m taking that the wrong way, correct?

A sense of morality does not equal the fortitude to act on it.

I think you are mistaken.

You are correct. I do have morality on my own but the standard is self serving and inconsistent. Sound familiar? The more I realize my own sin, apart from God’s saving grace, the less I see myself as better than others. It’s still ongoing and has taken me a long time to realize. I don’t agree with wrong doing however.
