It is here but it is not natural. Look at innocent children, they are not corrupted by worldly influence.. Do they kill people, ever? No.. So it is not our natural way but it is programmed throughout life. Less than 1 in 100,000 people kill another human being (like 0.001%), so you cannot say it is a natural tendancy or else everyone would be doing it regularly.
Helping somebody who is in a life-or-death situation however, IS natural, and most people would sacrefice themselves to save the life of an endangered baby.
And what is this rubbish about everything on Earth being natural!? Hardly anything is natural on the planet now, other than the undiscovered stones underground. Crops have been genetically modified, so have animals, seas have been polluted, as has the air, even the weather is changing now due to mankinds 'progress', etc, etc, etc.
And finally, right and wrong, good and evil are subjective. They don't ~really~ exist, they are just opinions of people. People are neither naturally 'good' or 'evil', people just make choices, for their own reasons. What's wrong to you might be right to everybody else on the planet.
Therefore your entire argument is flawed. Don't try to argue logic with me, you'll never win.

Murder is not "wrong". The thing is that most of the time it is not right.
If a person were slowly bleeding to death from a fatal wound inflicted by an animal, would murdering them be wrong?

Uh, how could EVERYTHING on earth be right?
I do not agree that natural necessarily = good, nor does "natural" necessarily mean "of nature".

'Wrong' is a subjective judgment. People make subjective judgments. People are 'natural'. Therefore people regarding things as wrong is 'natural'. End of story.

Sigh... morality is not something that is limited to the religious. I find it amusing that religious people tend to think this, when their religion often causes them to harm others.
Taking a life out of anger or pleasure is wrong... you don't need religion to tell you that.

Oh, I just love it when a person who would ordinarily dismiss logic and reasoning uses it to try to reinforce his own silly ideas! It doesn't work! You can't use logic if you don't understand it!

Atheists don't claim nature is perfect.
Quit trying to kill straw men. It only makes you look stupid.

Death is natural. Murder is not. Not everything on earth is natural. Have you not seen Ru Paul?
