You are being more off the wall than usual. This has nothing to do with Original Sin or BF Skinner, nor is it based on "my concept of God". It is simple empiricism: people learn moral values and precepts at their mothers' knees, adding to that stock of as they get older and experience other influences. Just as they do not have language, though they have the capacity for it, until they are actually taught it, so they do not have morals, although they have the capacity, until they are taught them.
