"I find it a little offensive that because I agree with a certain law it means my morality is dictated by the state."

You misunderstand, and from there you argue based on your misunderstanding. No one is saying that just because you agree with a certain "law it means [your] morality is dictated by the state.", rather, your morality just happens to overlap with the state, meaning you are past that stage of moral development (at least regarding that particular issue).

Also, your claim of offense and then your sarcastic apology don't do anything to further the conversation, avoid such rhetorical sub-tactics in the future.

In the future you ought to avoid telling people how to communicate their thoughts. I didn't ask for your advice and from what I can tell you understood my point. To me that looks like successful communication.
