Atheists who announce "I'm good without god"

Do you think that there is a "my morals" and a "your morals"?   Do "your morals" apply to me?  Is morality something that we just make up or are free to change if it causes issues?  
Clearly, there are. You get your morals by fiat from an imaginary being. I do not. And equally clearly, you invent an imaginary deity who you then imagine delivers moral dictats that are automagically moral regardless of whether they are moral dictats or not.

To clarify, you have morals of your own which you toss out in favour of whatever you sky fairy happens to capriciously say next

Reality, evidence, replication, the scientific method.

Clearly not.

I don't care if you are gullible enough to accept the imaginary words of an imaginary being as your basis for morality.

Argument from ignorance.

And you are wrong. Gay marriage is legal in plenty of jurisdictions. That does not stop the god-botherers pronouncing it to be immoral. Same with extra-marital sex. Same with porn. Etc, etc, etc. Your claim is demonstrably false.

BTW how does one act "immortally".

Except that I do. You claim that my worldview is inconsistent, that I haven't thought through the implications and implied that I cannot follow my own morals accordingly and should therefore re-examine my worldview.

This is a flat out lie. I have not even hinted at my worldview, and you have the arrogance, the hubris to sit there and tell me what I think, how I live, what I ought to do.

Whatever borked deity it is you believe in must be weeping by now. You doing so is in fact immoral.
