Zone1 Where does atheist morality come from?

You got some serious issues if you need an imaginary being to keep yourself on the straight and narrow.

I'm sure you have the OT verse when Jesus, who is also God (before the 3 split) talked about something like abomination? You would know better than I.

Oh? And what else does the Bible have to say about it? As it covers over six thousand years, it must have come up continually?

I did and found out it is all bullshit, made up by fearful people. Now what?

When we were little, my dad used to play "Hide the Thimble" with us quite a lot, especially on rainy days. When the first few places we searched turned up a lot of other things, but no thimble, we kept on until we located the object of our search. You gave up. Again, my mantra: Seek and you will find.

Good thing that's not what it's about.

God was really moral when he made up rules about beating slaves and if they didn't die, you were cool? He was super moral when he offed the entire human race. Even more moral when he created the devil.

Are you folks suggesting that humans need some invisible imaginary god to not kill or steal? Did you know that most people in jail are Christians?

If you don't believe God exists then how can you believe God made up rules about beating slaves?

Now what? I guess you're going to keep bitching about it. Luckily for me that wasn't my experience. My experience is that my faith has led to an incredibly rich and full life.
