Truth and morals

I had a class discussion assignment last week dealing with morals... this is from something that I responded to the fact that people create their own...

What do you think about right and wrong? Are there determined moral standards for us? There are a lot of people in this world that don't think there are. There isn't really a truth, truth can bend. They follow their own idea of what is right and go off emotions or intellect. They can't go with anything against with what they feel no matter what anybody else (including God) has to say about it. They go about life in a self-centered fashion. They want to base their life off of what they feel will make them happy or feel good or attain the goals they have. There is no "moral compass" from which to compare truth and line up to it. I don't see how that can work. With all the people on this planet, nobody thinks the same way, everyone has ideas and thoughts. Who is to say who is right? All people are equal right? Or are we? How could anyone make laws or govern people? What would be truth? There has to be truth. God and His ways should be the "moral compass"- He is truth. If there is no compass then there is no God. If there is no God, then there was no creation. If there was no creation, then there is no purpose to humanity. Therefore, would morals even matter? Why care?

We need to line everything about our lives up to the word of God and see what He has to say and make that our answer.

Any thoughts?
