Christians commonly ask atheists how they know what is moral without the Bible to guide them. Ok, so as a non-believer, I can't subscribe to the scripture in the Bible. I choose a book after which to model my life and my moral fabric.
I choose The Joy of Cooking as my scripture. My commandments:
-Thou shalt not undersalt the risotto.
-Thou shalt not mix cheese and fish
-Thou shalt not overcook the pork loin, and anyone who cooks a pork loin in a Crock Pot shall be stoned to death
-Thou shalt precook the sausage in the stuffing before stuffing the turkey, or thou shalt suffer disease and pestilence
-Thou shalt not leave frozen ground beef on the counter to thaw or suffer the wrath of E. coli
-Thou shalt not cut raw chicken and then cut raw vegetables with the same knife on the same board, or you shall suffer diarrhea for forty days and forty nights
-Thou shalt wash your hands after handling poultry
-Thou shalt not use shitty wine in sauces nor margarine nor processed cheese
-Thou shalt not use nondairy creamers, for they are an abomination
What is your Good Book?

If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
