"Morals" are a loaded term implying a set of "higher values" handed down by a deity of some description. in reality morals are essentially the combination of logical and partially altruistic values which a person deduces for themselves in the context of the culture they finds ThemselvesIn short you don't always want to be getting the dirty end of the stick but you realize that everyone has to "take one for the team" once in a while to make a civilization work.

You do not need god or deity to inform you of this, you simply need to think it over. As is said often by the non-religious community "If you need to read your Bible to know that killing everyone you meet to steal their wallet is not acceptable ... by all means keep reading it!"

How do you deal with moral dilemmas?

It depends on the morals and ethics of the society in which you live. Morals and ethics change somewhat over time and vary in different societies, and also within societies - there is no single answer. Consult with someone you respect. Morals and ethics are not covered specifically by the legislation of a country but are often reflected in the laws made. If it is not illegal is is usually moral but not always. Another source to consider is any religious affiliation you may have, though what one religious group believes moral may not be considered so by another one.
