Where does your morality come from?

That's a serious question with no tone behind it. It's one that Christian apologists and their atheist debate partners spar on over and over. The boiled down version is that one side has an objective standard of morality outside themselves (God/Bible), and one side says there is no objective standard, and that the standard for each person is subjective.

Do either of those describe how you determine what is moral, good/bad, right/wrong? If not, how would you describe it for you?

Long story short, my morality is based on a combination of loose interpretation of bible, my personal subjective experiences of what is right and wrong that goes with my conscience and God. Life is full of gray areas so I cant say for sure what moral or immoral unless you give me a specific scenario. Like for example, Christians label the story of Sodom and Gomorahh as saying homosexuality is bad. but what kind of homosexuality? The people in those cities wanted to rape the angels/guests of Lot and Lot even offered up his two daughters for them to ganga rape in exchange for doing good hospitality and protection of the angel guests. Yet, Chrisitians use this story so much to condemn loving concensual homosexual relationships. For me, the immorality or reason why God may have destroyed the two cities was because of their disconcern and rude way of treating their guests, gang rape (forced sexual relations). For me, Lot was also immoral offering his daughter like that. But God didnt seem to care about Lot’s actions. He focused on the people in the citites who wanted to gang rape the angels.
