thats not what i was saying at all, what i was saying is that they dont neccesarily go hand in hand. ie you dont have to believe in a religion to have good morals




Does your "fear" of facing a judge keep you from killing someone?

It's not always about "fear" that keeps people in a straight line. It may just be simple accountability and not necessarily "fear".
no, it does not. im sorry but i wouldnt kill another person, unless i felt justified, and at that point i would not fear anything




That's exactly my question: Where did those morals come from? Upbringing? Nature vs Nurture? Environment? Some built in gyroscope? Where?
my morals come from the fact that i dont see a need to treat someone else differently because they may have different views. and i dont feel the need to unnesessarily hurt someone, mentally of physically.
I am asking WHERE does the morality of an Atheist come from since morality is built on an individual belief system? Where does an Atheist draw their line in the sand at? IF Christians are supposed to use the Bible as a guide to their morality, where or what do Atheists use to guide themselves since they believe they don't have to be accountable to any supreme being?
i am trying to tell you that i cant answer for athiests
