Do atheists even need an objective moral system?

[Mark 13:13]

Well why would the argument for morality being proof of God counter the argument that morality evolved like everything else in the universe, the only way a Theist might try push the point is say without God there cannot be a gold standard unchanging code as God is the only Unchanging Entity that exists ( MY WORDS I KNOW) so I would suspect the Athiest say well we can have morality without god and then the question would be asked how? and of we go into how morality exists within the Framework of the Athiest system and what is the definition of said morality and qualities of said morality. I'm not an expert but thats the way i would see it evolve; i'm sure there are vets in the forum can say if thats what tends to happen or if im partially right or even wrong.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Well, I did a moral ethics unit last semester at uni as an elective and what I learnt is that sometimes there's no clear answer when it comes to morality. For example, is it morally right to lie to save someone's life? This of course, is testing GOD's absolute moral code, because as a Christian you know it's not right to lie.

I'll wait and see what you would do in such a situation before I expand.

I have seen something similar explored somewhere where the question was asked is is ok to take and eat food that doesn't belong to you without asking, and although it doesn't answer your paradox it does clarify the Catholic and probably general Christian, a little the way to deal with the situation moraly, i will try to track it down
