So someone doesn't walk into the room, steal your computer, and dropkick you in the larynx.
That would be immoral.

That would depend on your own definition of moral. A moral code is an individual system of ethics; while often a group will agree to live by a moral code, others have individual systems. Some systems are based on faith; others on reasoning/logic.
The government lays down laws because moral codes are fluid; issues such as drug taking, adultery, pornography and so on may be moral for some and immoral for others. We have a legal system to determine the standard for our society, even though the legal system may offend some morality systems. The debate on legal termination of pregnancy is once such issue.

Morality promoted respect for others.
There would be no rape or infidelity.
It is the right way to be.
Immorality breads hate, discontent, divorce, and evil.
