What do you mean what we do is of no consequence? If I punch you, doesn't that matter? Isn't there a consequence, and we can mutually agree that it's a good or a bad thing based on an understanding of what we both went through? Doesn't that provide the foundation for morality?
Our molecular make-up, divinely inspired or not, isn't where morality comes from. As has been pointed out numerous times in history, if free will didn't exist, we really ought to pretend that it does.
