“How is ethics and morality going to be objectively true and binding without God ??”
See Aristotle’s (rational) Nichomachean Ethics (of happiness) at
http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/nicomachaen.1.i.html
Or in .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics
... where it is written ... “Aristotle states in the opening chapter that eudaimonia, often translated as well-being or happiness, is the highest goal of all human deliberate actions, and coincident with the aim of Politics, the subject of another closely related work of Aristotle. He takes this as a starting point, going on to describe what is necessary to be happy.”
