Anyway, Christianity is NOT necessary for morality for a great many people, but I would not want a world without christianity, because then, who would control those without control? God is necessary for moral absolutes. Either it is God or it is man. Name another possible source (please review the definition of "absolute" before you answer). Who you decide God is is up to you.

Name another possible source (please review the definition of "absolute" before you answer).Again you artificially limit the alternatives. To wit:
1. Morality is arbitrary and defined by man
2. Morality is arbitrary and defined by God
3. Morality is absolute and recognized by both God and man
Note: This list not necessarily exhaustive.
