You do however believe in a greater being not God but your own desiers"my own moral beliefs satisfy me" You have taken on a belief system a "religion" of your own and placed yourself as the god. This is no different than what the pharrohs done.
Following my own moral beliefs satisfies me. Why should I follow yours or anyone elses? Just because I don't believe in the morals of God doesn't mean I believe greed is good. I believe that we should be free from genetic desires such as sex, power, respect, and wealth (wealth isn't direcly genetic but many people want it dearly and it is poison to their lives). Then we are truly strong.

I place myself as the God of my own personal relegion that know one else can follow because it's not theirs its mine, my own code, my own truth. I am God because I say what is true in my life. For example-I see a small man on the sidewalk. My brain tells me he is there and he is small, not some other being such as "God." If I wish to think that that man is not there he is not there because I choose him to vanish. Of course his image may be there but I can be pleased that in my own reality he is virtual. The Pharroahs were not evil people-they were enslaved as much as their own people but for different reasons. Do not condem the chained for failure, think pity of them and learn.
