Can objective morality exist in Atheism?

[Zen Badger]

Well, how about this then...standard philosophy...Worldviews are comprised of a set of a priori beliefs that serve as a filter through which we interpret information to arrive at our beliefs. At a minimum, Worldviews have a Metaphysic, an Epistemology and an Ethic. Atheism's metaphysic filter is "there are no Metaphysics". (Naturalism) It's Epistemology is "Logic and Reason". (Scientific Method) Finally it's Ethic is "Might makes right". (Majority Rules)

Since it has the basic elements of a world view, why do you believe it is not a world view? let me save you some time. You claim it is not a worldview because you know deep down inside that if you admitted that, you'd have to defend your inability to behave in a manner that comports with the presuppositions of the belief.

Speaking as an atheist/agnostic I consider it to be a worldview, it is in a way the frame through which we see and interpret the world..
but I'm confused by your next statement, are you expecting us to go berserk and start killing people for fun just because there is no divine retribution?

Do you have trouble comprehending the idea that an atheist can have a self imposed high moral code
for no other reason than he/she knows that it's right?

In short, the claim Atheism is not a world view is nothing more than an avoidance technique for Atheists to not have an honest debate. You fear having to explain why you believe rape and murder are "wrong" when in Atheism, there can exist no absolute morality.

Yes you are right, there is no absolute morality in atheism.
But there is no absolute morality in the bible either.

A question if I may....

Who is morally superior?

A Christian who lives his live in a moral fashion because by doing so he will be rewarded in heaven.

Or..

An atheist who does the same but without expectation of reward or punishment after death.
