Absolutely, and it's not a matter of not minding. They're impulses. If the situation was desperate enough for my primitive instincts to override my moral compass, it wouldn't matter if Jesus personally asked me not to steal from the little boy. After all, this is completely hypothetical. Sure, I'd probably regret making Jesus sad, but I couldn't help it.
Why have morals? Because in the cases that I'm not driven by my primal urges, it helps me decide what's right and wrong to do.
