Logical fallacy. Morals must come from an objective source (God through the Bible). Otherwise there will s no true morality.

Outward “morality” means nothing. Sorry to offend, but if Jesus is not your savior and lord you can spend eternity without God. No God in this life, no God in the next.

Most U.S. adults now say it is not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values

I guess they don't think that believing in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is necessary to get to Heaven either. Surface thinking on their part. Sad!

you know- they print these articles with glee- glee over people ‘losing their faith’ or ‘walking away from the faith’- and it pleases them to no end- they lust after a united states that is ‘free from the restraints of God’- and all the while society is becoming less and less civil, and more and more violent and immoral- hurting more and more people

All people have and/or practice morality. It is based on what they themselves believe to be moral. There is no reward for being moral whether one believes in God or not. God doesn’t reward anyone for their actions. The only reward a person gets from God is thru faith in His Son Jesus Christ, and that reward is heaven.

Romans 1:28-32

28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

belief in God is unnecessary for morality tracks 

Interesting how The Word doesn't contradict Natural Law when it comes to governing Human reproductive behavior.

What does this mean?

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human

Unimportant.

Christians are saves sinners and a perfectly moral person who is not a Christian is still a sinner, a doomed sinner.

i believe people who understands the Bible has always been aware of that.

The Bible plainly tells us that the do goods never believed that Jesus nor his apostles were moral.

The thing that sets Christians apart moral wise is doing the right thing even if it is wrong according to the so called moral society.

Hey Reza - what scalar value do folks who are "Easy to Use and Operate" render on yer cult-O-meter?

C.A.I.R. - Anaheim, 31 Mar 2007

"This is what people like Aslan and Greenwald, both of whom are allied with Islamic supremacists and jihadists in so many ways (see here and here for some details), and their friends and allies in groups like the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) do to anyone and everyone who speaks the truth about jihad terror. "

If there wasn’t a God, where does the desire to be moral come from?

Considering today’s “morality,” of course not.

Otoh, society’s standards keep sinking, so you have to live higher and higher above those standards, to be decent.
