Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

Thanks and I definitely got what you were saying. I've noticed all the same things you have. Islamo-Christians can preach the right, do the wrong and still feel morally superior.

It reminds me of how you can have serial adulterers in the GOP (Giuliani, McCain, Gingrich, et al) puff up their chests about "family values" and "defending traditional marriage". You can point out to Christians that they're hypocrites and they respond "yeah, but we're all sinners".

It's not REALLY about morality. It's about feeling superior to an outside group.

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
