Of course, atheists insist that people should be "good without God."
But why? If God does not exist, why be good?
Because it's the right thing to do as a social dependent species? And we aren't psychopaths?
Come to think of it, Randy never did deal with that answer properly. His response to me, when I brought it up, was little more than "that doesn't make sense, from an atheist perspective," and that was it. No reason why, no justification, just fiat dismissal.
