No, not in other words. What they must do is consider accountability to God in every action they take.

So, I take it then, in your own direct words, people have to evalute contemporary human concerns to establish proper moral behavior.

Concerning horse sense and moral dilemmas, if there is no morals there is no moral dilemma. People use their "own brains and hearts" to come to this conclusion every day. They say "the store is not paying me enough. It's only fair if I take from inventory with paying for it" or "nobody's looking, I can sneak into the movie" or If I talk my girlfriend into an abortion I won't have to pay child support."

That people use their horse sense to look out for number one is why God has provided commandments.

So, I guess you are just going to continue to treat my question like ass wipe instead of answering it. What you are describing is, of course, not moral behavior at all, and forwarding the claim that that's what I'm proposing.

Answer the question put to you, more than once, in far too great detail for a sensible person think that what you've provided here constitutes anything but a naked strawman argument.

There is plenty of evidence around the people can hate god and still have moral fiber--your's is an extra-ordinarily feeble post-hoc, ergo propter hoc argument, and I dismiss it with the contempt it deserves, until you provide me with evidence that belief in God makes people any more moral than otherwise. The anabaptists, the knight's templer, the jews, the witches, and spanish heretics eagerly await your proof.

No Don, they are not my direct words.

You've asked several questions and I did provide answers. I'm going to assume you're referring to the one in which you want to know if Jesus would approve of you impregnating another man's wife at his and hers request. The Bible says don't commit adultery. If you ask my advice I'd tell you not to do it. If you go ahead and do it anyway, I'm not the final judge. I'm not even going to be an intermediate judge.

There is plenty of evidence around the people can hate god and still have moral fiber . . .

People who hate God end up spreading bitterness if they lack power and spreading death if they don't. If you hate God, you don't know God.
