Zone1 Where does atheist morality come from?

[ding]

Sorry but this is YOUR Bible and not mine and those who believe the Bible verses believe in a monster god.

My point was that with respect to all of your complaints concerning God, if you don't believe the narrative then provide the narrative that you believe that explains the texts. Then you will discover your error.

People in cemeteries.

Dependent on remains/soil/earth.

Those who claim Bible God have the duty to prove it. Faith is meaningless. If someone were to tell you they have faith in Thor and you had to disprove Thor existed or accept him and his followers would you do so since he has faith Thor is still real?

But you just said you base what you think and do on EVIDENCE. So where's your evidence? Or were you lying?

Atheist morality comes from a desire to do good
Christian morality comes from a fear of God

My morality comes from my LOVE of God as God is love among other "things."

Atheist morality comes from...

...satisfaction of material needs and primitive impulses.

Atheists are moral because they have a conscience
Christians fear what God will do to them

Atheists are moral because they have a conscience

What you call morals are really more like preferences to an atheist.

 

[Meriweather]

Atheist morality comes from a desire to do good
Christian morality comes from a fear of God

And when there is no desire?

 

[ding]

Christians fear what God will do to them

Incorrect. Most people act as if they have no concern for that at all. If they truly feared for their souls they'd behave differently.

 

[rightwinger]

And when there is no desire?

Same applies to Christians

A lot of Christians on Death Row

Or even worse.......they look to people like Joel Osteen for guidance.

because they have a conscience

If that were true they wouldn't believe morals were relative or based upon popular opinion. They would believe in absolute right and wrong.

Atheist morality comes from Almighty God. Even though atheists might not believe in Him, He still instilled the knowledge of good and evil in everyone's heart.

Christian’s have this condescending opinion that only they are capable of behaving morally

Atheists have the same conscience, desire to do good things, golden rule as Christians

They just don’t need God to act that way

It does seem to be innate.

 

[Meriweather]

Same applies to Christians

The point is that Christians do not do good due to fear of God. Goodness is an innate part of people. The reason some Christians will go the extra mile to do goodness is because that is the Way of God and we truly love His Ways. Goodness benefits all, including oneself. Perhaps many atheists feel the same about goodness--that all benefit?

Very few people behave morally all of the time, Christians included.

Atheists have no logical reason to behave morally. That conscience you speak of is innate and as far as I'm concerned is a byproduct of all of existence being good because good is the extant attribute of reality because God is reality and good.
