If there is no God then to be anything less than totally hedonistic makes no sense.

And yet, somehow here I am, married man, good job, moral, just, fair, friendly, etc. Divorce/adultery rates are equal among the pious. There are good christians and there are bad christians. There are good atheists and there are bad ones. But everyone knows killing, stealing, and lying are wrong. Pretty simply stuff here.

Yes, I find it puzzling (no offense intended). I understand right and wrong because I believe my God made it so. If there is no God what makes right right and wrong wrong? (I'm sorry if I seem obtuse but I do not have much interaction with athiests.)
