It it's innate , it is by definition "inborn, inherent, possessed as an essential characteristic." That means it comes from US.

There is. Your parent, extended family, the villiage, the county, and SOCIETY.
Many civilizations were never introduced to your Religion and had the rules long before Christianity creeped out of the middle-east to infect Rome

"There has to be an outside source that gives us an innate sense of right and wrong."
No. Just the attitude of the intelligent, reasoning, human individual, which is:
Treat others as you would want them to treat you.
I wouldn't like to be killed/harmed, nor have my property stolen/damaged, so why should I do the same to others?
Commit acts of gratuitous kindness.
Be good for goodness' sake.
See? All the morals you'll ever need. No invisible, outside , sky-daddy required.
Your call, kerri (and everyone on Ruptured Retards).

If our programming instruction are downloaded from an external source then we are just God's remotely operated robots. If such is the case then free will doesn't exist, and consequently heaven and hell are meaningless. An impasse perhaps? Certainly not for the average Rapturite.

...whereas we Atheists take responsibility for our own actions.
I wouldn't like being killed/raped/harmed, nor would I want mu property stolen/damaged, so why should I do the same to others?

Your call.
Therefore, 'there has to be an outside source that gives us an innate sense of right and wrong', you say little Raptard? Show me where it says that? We sentient human beings are capable of figuring things out for ourselves , that's why we've advanced the way we have today, and beyond ...!
Next question.
Confused?
