"You're an atheist and you're against homosexuality? But you have no grounds for such a position.
Of course, you have no grounds to be opposed to mass murder either, for that matter."

Why is it that some people have this idea that those who don't hold strong belief in a god cannot have a sense of morality? Such a thought requires that you believe no human being had a clue that murdering others was wrong prior to it having been written down in a religious text. That's just silly.

Being non-religious does not make you immoral any more than being religious makes you moral.

Oh, I don't know . . . could it be because in the absence of an Objective G-d all "morality" is nothing but subjective hang-ups of either individuals or societies?

But I suppose it depends on how you define morality. And since the actual definition of morality is adherence to Divine decrees . . .

One of the requirements of morality has to do with loving God. In fact, that's the most important one. It is kind of hard to love God if you don't believe in God.
