I think people have many different ideas of what morality is, and how its expressed. But for the sake of discussion, here is the definition I believe holds universal for all of us;
Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.
Behavior as it is affected by the observation of these principles.

Now lets think for a moment. Morality is a set of beliefs based on your idea of right and wrong.. or is it? Morality as it seems to me is governed by another set of rules, not your own. This other set of rules is the law. While the law was written based on majority vote, I do believe this impacts many of us in many different ways in particular, such as our morality.

Im here to propose that your morality is not based on what you personally believe to be right or wrong, but rather dictated by the restictions law places on all of us. Think of it as a paramount rule that keeps us all in line, thinking all the same. Those of us that do find morality outside the law, end up punished with imprisonment or penatly for breaking said law.

Any morality based on law, is not a morality. Well... it might be, but it isnt a true morality. For example:
If the law was lifted and you could kill another human being, would you? You can make up whatever scenario you like, but you would never perform an act of murder had you known that you would be imprisoned for it. If stealing was allowed, would you take someone elses things? Would it be owed to you, perhaps? My point is that your morality should not only dictate how you live, but your actions also. If the law is interfering with decisions you make in regards to your moral compass, than you are no longer being loyal to yourself, but rather a tool for the law.

TL ; DR

Your morality tells you one thing, law says another. You disregard your morality in place of the law. Your morality has no purpose.
