morality doesnt require God -
they always define moral behavior in accordance with
their own actual behavior choices.
So, by self-definition, they are moral people.
True for believers as well.
A "personal" god is a running fad with the religious community. It seems that everyone seems to know god and exactly what he wants, which obviously differs from person to person.
You're just as likely to have a Christian disagree with another Christian on what is "moral" as you would a Christian and a non-believer.
Gunrunner: "True for believers as well."
I don't think so. I know lots and lots of Christians who quickly admit to moral failure. It's rare to find agnostics or atheists who admit they fall far short of their own moral standards. As for "disagreements"....even the self-proclaimed christians who favor allowing abortion are very quick to tell you they are "personally opposed" to it.

That describes human failure, not God. God's Holy Word is and always will be constant.
I've seen alot of looseness with facts, going so far as to claim Hitler was Catholic. This illustrates just how much atheists misunderstand Christianity.
My advice is to compare the actions and behaviors of Christians with New Testament scriputre. You'll find alot of people considering themselves to be Christian are not.Sometimes not even close!
