You clearly see that there are certain inescapable morals built into us genetically, even if you don't believe in a Supreme Being who governs right and wrong.

I say this because I don't believe you'd have access to this site from prison ;)

I don't believe we have morals built into us genetically. In fact, I think the very idea is rather silly. I am a firm believer that morals are developed culturally. Nor do I think they are inescapable. You can look at other cultures and at history and see that not every person, or even every culture, or society ascribed to these inescapable, innate, supposedly God imprinted morals.
