God and Morality: Separate Issues
#42
RE: God and Morality: Separate Issues
Some people say that belief in God necessary for morality, but it appears to me that christianity actually advocates the notion of morality existing apart from belief in God.

"Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them." Romans 2:14

Besides, it is claimed that God is just. How could a just God pass judgment on someone using a measure that is impossible to meet?
"People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers." - Mythology for Profit
