Ive thought about this before and I think ones actions always reflect ones morals. Sometimes were not even aware of the values that guide some of our actions because they can be subconscious, instilled at a young age. Thats why I think its really important to strive for ever greater self awareness and understanding. Otherwise we may find ourselves behaving in ways we dont want to.

Yes. At least I think they do...
I also find it amusing that the first question was "Here or in real life?"
If your morals say "It's okay to offend and attack people from the anonymity of the internet because there are no real repercussions from it so I can be as big a jerk as I want to be", you can tell yourself that it's "not how I am in REAL life" as much as you want.
Your morals still say that it's okay to do if ther are no repercussions for it. Which basically means that you're a jerk at the core, but you only let it out when there's no chance to get your butt kicked for it.
Which makes you a coward, as well.

Yes, they do. Any time you have an option to take an action based on your morals or not (and neutral in all other ways) people will choose to go by their morals.
But that doesn't mean that our morals come from the bible. If they did, we would've all died a long time ago.

99% of the time, my actions are reflective of my morals--both the morals I claim to have and really do have.
I know folks who claim to have certain morals. I just don't understand how they figure to be so judgmental of others who don't live up to those morals.
Nobody on earth is perfect.

People's actions will almost always reflect their actual moral values. Hence the saying "Actions speak louder than words"

Yes.
Having good morals is nice, but in the long line of things if you don't act on those morals it doesn't mean much at all. It is different to stand there and say people are doing something wrong, it is totally different to go and do something about it.
It is one reason we have the saying, "Do as I say, not as I do." In the US, people quite often forget that not only is acting upon what we say one of the most important factors of what makes us who we are, but it is also how our children learn from us.

I believe it's wrong to take things that don't belong to me or to hurt people. Since I don't steal or engage in conduct that might harm people emotionally, socially or physically then yes my actions reflect my morals.
I will ring your doorbell and run away!!!

yes.
"A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
Matt 12:35
"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
Matt 7:17-18
Our actions do not only reflect our morals, they are a truer testimony than not only what we tell others our morals are, but most importantly what we tell ourselves our morals are.

Simply put, Actions speak louder than words.
What we actually do is much more reflective of our true values than what we profess to believe.
