I'm not trying to be sanctimonious, its just a little philosophy 101.

You obviously have a sense of right and wrong. Where does this come from? Where is the original source for right and wrong or good and evil?

All of the notions of right and wrong, good and evil trace themselves back through history to a belief in God and a greater purpose to human life than participating in the food chain. When an atheist appeals on moral grounds, the appeal is to centuries of tradition created by a belief in a deity.

If there is no God, no Creator, no Supreme Being, then there is no plan, purpose, or design to any of our lives other than what we choose it to be until we die and become worm food.

Following a moral code is humbling yourself to something that you place more value in than your own wants. What is an atheist humbling himself to and why?

(For the record, in rereading my first post it is harsher than I realized. I listened to Laura Ingraham the other day and heard the debate about how the cross at the war memorial in San Diego insults and degrades "foxhole atheists" so the acidic nature of my original post is probably the fallout from that.)

Laura Ingraham is an arrogant, sanctimonious, but well educated moron. To her truth is congruent with her assinine chatter each day only by coincidence and only when it suits her daily irrationality.
