I often hear the POV of the OP, but it's only half an argument. I've yet to see someone complete the other half. (And there are plenty of books out there which have attempted to do so. Alas, I haven't read most of them.)
Because morals are not derived from a book.

Theists don't claim that morals are derived from a book, they claim that morals are derived from god.

The rest of your post seems like little more than a histrionic rant which neither addressed my points nor advanced the original discussion in any meaningful way.
Moreover, it had all the characteristics of a fundamentalist who types things in all caps in the (apparent) conviction that doing so makes his message more persuasive.

And this makes the second time that you've essentially bragged to me about your lack of education. Why you think being ignorant is something you need to advertise is a mystery to me.

If you feel your lack of education might render you incompetent to respond to a poster's point properly, then please don't respond at all.
