There is no example because it doesn't exist. Laws are enacted because people think doing what that law forbids is wrong. They aren't created out any objective reason. It always boils down to "oh man, that is so wrong, it should be against the law!"
Counter-example: Me.
Or, anyone else who follows laws because they don't feel like dealing with the punishment. Me following a law typically has nothing to do with my own moral code, even if the two coincide.

The self has the power and uses the power to enforced those rules on the self. That's how it works. Internal vs. external. No, not everyone's morals are the same, but not all laws are the same in every civilization either. I wonder what could possibly make them different? Oh right, one group thinks something is wrong while the other doesn't. Prostitution is legal in Nevada, because more people are morally ok with it than elsewhere. Certainly if Nevada was suddenly full for Mormons, that law would change. Why would it change? Because the majority view it as immoral.
Like I said, there do exist some laws that have been enacted because of morality. Your example does nothing but prove a statement I've already stated (you agreed with me here, so I think I am currently in the lead with +1). Furthermore, you're confusing self with Self.

As you stated? As I stated. Nice try though. Christians go to hell when they break their moral code.

All that set, they both still remain a set of rules that are subjective and created by those who wish to follow them.
