In answer to question 6, I'm gonna say the same thing that I said in another thread the other day

This whole conversation about "How can atheists be moral?" says more about religious people than it does atheists. If you seriously think you can't be moral without the teachings of the Bible, then that means you are a plebeian child who has to have their hand held through life. No ability to think for oneself. Sorry to be blunt, but it's true. Yes, we have morals, we just use our brains and come to our own conclusions on what is moral, instead of being told what to think.

God is a mythical being too, we can't say for sure he doesn't exist, but it is as likely he exists as it is likely werewolves, vampires and faeries exist. He is as mythical as they are.

I'm not saying atheists can't be moral. Atheists are moral (have a moral sense of right and wrong). My question is why. Universal morality implies a standard higher than man.

I dont have many beliefs but one thing that i do believe and feel that there is sufecint evedence that man is more capable than even he/she/we give credit for. It's so easy to see the bad things we do and conclude that we are mere intelegent animals that at the end of the day will only devour the week and sexualy lust all day long. Many would have us think that those things are all that we are capable of and so some one invented the after life and a reasons to be a good person. I see that there are examples today and in the past of extremely good and selfless act from man and before you say "that is because they were christian" remember that only about a 1/3rd of the world is christian and not all acts of kindness are done in the name of christ. Such acts of kindness do happen and many of these people atribute them to a higher power. however in my observation any body of any faith or lack there of can do good things or bad things then it must be we who are capable of looking to higer ideas than that of the beasts in the feilds.
