Morality does not come from God.

That begs the question where does it come from? Where is absolute morality come from?

No, it doesn't. Morality actually precedes religion.

Besides, there's no such thing as what you call absolute morality. What's considered moral now may not be in a few decades, and vice versa. Although, some things are pretty basic, like murder and rape. I honestly can't be arsed to explain further, this vacation is so ralaxing...

You can't claim that there is no absolute morality while calling some "pretty basic," thus giving a notion that it's wrong to rape or murder 100% of the time. It's not logical.

As for the video, it claims that morality comes from nature and empathy to create minimal suffering, but it's redefining "good" and "evil" as what is best for the human species. What moral obligation is there for a person to do what is best for the species in the grand scheme of things if life ultimately has no meaning? Just because?
