In order to accept JP's doctrinal mumbo jumbo you have to first accept and acknowledge that his god exists and that he is the creator of all things great and small.You have to accept that there is an objective mind greater than our own subjective minds that creates and orchestrates everything in this world.Due to the fact that most members of this site are atheists those preconceived ideas of god are nothing more than blabber.Since as an atheist we don't believe in god or gods of any kind or nature and view religions as nothing more than the primitive musings of a previous age of ignorance.
And to answer the question about morality as I have said before you don't need god to be good or moral.Morality is a societal and cultural phenomenon and is based upon where you are raised and what values you are taught by the society in which you reside.In many ways morality is similar to religion,if you are taught by your society that god is Allah,Buddah,Thor,Horus,etc that is what the predominant belief in your culture is and that is what you are going to believe as well.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
