RE: As a nonreligious person, where do you get your moral guidance?

I get all my morality from a guy that I met in the woods one day. He had very hairy legs and tiny feet and two bumps sticking out of his forehead that were kind of pointy. I think he went by the name Old Nick. Anyway, he explained to me all about morality.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
