How Do We Behave?

[darkblight]

I didnt say you were a theist i just could see how you could be misconstrued as one.
For one thing you were using an argument that many theists have put forward here before. To my knowledge you are the only atheist to take this line.

Morality changes as society changes so it is usual to think of as 'base line' morality coming from society as a whole. I say base line because peoples personal morals vary around the base line sometimes being more sometimes less than the base line.

There was a time when simply being an atheist was considered immoral and was punished as such.

i guess put it like this: you have a button, you push it and everything you find wrong with the world is gone, including people.. do you push the button? who could not push the button?

so then the question becomes how do we make this button.
