Change it up a bit. Instead of right or wrong, think about what works and what doesn't. Then it has nothing to do with morality. It is simply a system to live by. If an axe murderer takes up his hobby in downtown LA, that doesn't work. He's taking away other people's opportunity to live. If a church does a bake sale to support the local orphanage, that does work. It doesn't negatively affect anyone else's life.
Then it's clear that not just one person sat down and made the rules. These are values that have evolved over time into a system to promote life.
The exception is the preachy people that want to tell you you're going to hell for living your life. As long as you're doing what works and doesn't negatively impact those around you, you're doing what is "right".

Well see there is the problem with believing in morality sans God. Without God, who's to tell anyone else what morals to believe in? Therefore, whatever morals you choose would be OK. The problem with this is obvious. 1) What does that do to our legal system, if we are to be nonhypocritical? and 2)How can we make a transcultural model? If we do not make a transcultural model, then we cannot ever condemn any other nation for anything they do, even for 9/11 type acts against our country. The whole world delves into chaos, unless we are to act intellectually dishonest. God must exist. Otherwise we all live in lies or chaos.

Not just "some human dude"... Society determines the laws. You wouldn't expect to find the law that is against murder in a group of cannibles, would you?

i dont know if there really is a god, but i do think there is something out there. Religion sucks... created by people to perpetuate themselves in power through the ignorance of the masses. Sorry about that, folks. But thats the way the cookie crumbles...

No, many people have decided what is right and wrong, and it shows this in that most cultures have similar beliefs in what is right and wrong. There is also a difference between what is socially acceptable and what is religiously acceptable.

And if there is no God then there is need to worry about a judgment. If fact there is no hope for this world. We can just expect wars and violence will go on forever !!!

Of course. Always.
P.S. "intuition" falls to pieces when you look at the world before the spread of Christianity. Many laws didn't/don't sit well with the bible.

Everyone has an intuition of what's wrong and what's right, and God put that in everyone!
