Four Scenarios

[Godscreated]

Scenario One: I am an atheist. I am in the mall and I see an elderly woman drop a $10 bill on the ground. I pick up the bill and return it to the woman who dropped it; why?

Scenario Two: I am a Christian. I am in the mall and I see a young man drop a $10 bill on the ground. I pick up the bill, and instead of returning it to the man who dropped it, I slip it into my pocket; why?

Scenario Three: I am a Christian. A woman cuts me off in traffic. Frustrated, I honk my horn for a long while and I yell out some choice words; why?

Scenario Four: I am an atheist. A man cuts me off in traffic. Frustrated, I grip the wheel, muster a smile, and carry on with my journey without angst; why?

Theists and atheists are welcome to contribute. Feel free to respond to any or all scenarios as you are lead. I’m still working out some details of the “moral dilemma“ and I would appreciate any and all input. Thanks.

A rewrite:
1) I am an atheist. I'm in the mall and see an elderly lady drop a 10 dollar bill, I put it with the rest of the money I stole and go buy some meth, singing "Oh Happy Days."

2) I am a Christian. I'm in the mall and see a young man drop a 10 dollar bill, I pick it up and return it to him. After a chat with him I understand he's a struggling student and Give him a 20 dollar bill from my wallet, I leave singing, "Oh Happy Days!"

3) I am a Christian. A woman cuts me off in traffic, I feel a rage grow in me because my children could have been harmed, God reminds me kindness is a virtue and I thank Him an lay off the horn I wanted to so badly blow.

4) I am an atheist. A man cuts me off in traffic, I feel a rage grow in me, because there's no God to remind me of kindness I grip my gun and blow out the man's brain, with no remorse I leave the scene, singing "Oh Happy Days."

Just thought it fair to balance out the two world views.

In reality people do not always respond to things the way they should, I think you've brought the case for "why" we need absolute morale standards. Without them all that is written above is fair game.
