I have often had Christians tell me that without the 10 commandments they would not know how to behave. However, to not rape is not a commandment but most of us know that is wrong. Furthermore, they cannot take the commandments (the word of their god) to heart because many of them have images of christ on their walls at home, which breaches the 2nd commandment... oops!
I know how to behave, I have morals. But I am an Atheist. Must mean Atheists are much more advanced, because we don't need to be taught right from wrong in the same way.
You were given morals just like Christians were, they are God given, it takes man to believe he came up with morals by his little lonesome.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
