Atheist moral code

RE: Atheist moral code

I think immoral behavior should be pointed out no matter the actor.

Morality is relative and subjective. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, that just means it is is different for different people. That doesn't mean that those people cannot opine about the moral nature of an action, either. It just means that morality is relative and subjective.

When something offends my moral sensibility, I speak up. I know what my code is, and it is derived from my sense of empathy.
