I'm not gonna twist ur answers and try to preach at you or anything, so please don't be defensive or anything. It's just that I have been thinking about morality, and I wonder where atheists believe that their moral values originate from?
Moral subjectivism is nihilism with a crutch, the word morality makes no sense in a subjectivist context.
Moral values don't "originate", morality is an evaluation, a standard by which we judge intentional action (mechanics and mental illness are not "morally wrong" for example).
